Childs Brain. 1983;10(3):177-84. doi: 10.1159/000120112.

Abstract

Serial electroencephalograms were obtained over a 24-hour period in 15 children from 3 months to 17 years following metrizamide CT cisternography. Persistent EEG abnormalities were noted in 8 children, 5 of whom were older than 2 years. Bifrontal slowing was a frequent change in the children older than 2 years.
