Electroencephalographic findings in Bickerstaff’s brainstem encephalitis: A possible reflection of the dysfunction of the ascending reticular activating system

Objectives: Bickerstaff’s brainstem encephalitis (BBE) is a rare post-infectious inflammatory disease, which causes impaired consciousness by the dysfunction of the ascending reticular activating system (ARAS). We aimed to clarify EEG changes possibly caused by the dysfunction of the ARAS in BBE. Me...
