Wicket spikes (WS) are a benign eletroencephalogram (EEG) variant, seen mainly in adults, during somnolence, in the temporal regions, in many clinical situations. WS can appear in trains or isolatedly, sometimes being difficult to differentiate from epileptiform activity.
Where are wicket spikes?
Wicket spikes or wicket rhythms are medium to high voltage, monophasic wave bursts in the range of theta or alpha range (6-11Hz). Wicket spikes occur in the anterior or middle temporal areas with a negative polarity, which usually evolves from the background as arcuate-shaped, brief (0.5-1 second) rhythmic discharges.
What is an EEG and what does it measure?
An EEG is a test that detects abnormalities in your brain waves, or in the electrical activity of your brain. During the procedure, electrodes consisting of small metal discs with thin wires are pasted onto your scalp. The electrodes detect tiny electrical charges that result from the activity of your brain cells.
