4 c/sec vertex spindles: Fuseaux de 4 c/sec au vertex
article
An EEG phenomenon consisting of thythmic 3.5-4.5 c/sec triangular waves an average amplitude of 40 μV, strictly localized at the vertex, occurring in spindles with an average duration of 2.5 sec has been observed in 20 patients. This phenomenon was called 4 c/sec spindles. It occurred particularly in awake adolescents with a peak at the age of 14-15 years. The most common diagnosis under which they had been referred was vasomotor instability. The EEGs of 30% of these patients moreover showed a frontal theta rhythm at 6-7 c/sec. In 90% of these patients the EEG was otherwise unremarkable. © 1973.
