petit mal variant activity
actividad de (una) variante de epilepsia/Petit Mal


Explanation:
Es "una" variante de epilepsia (o Petit Mal si lo prefieres). Tu frase sería:

Ayers (1987) estableció que el EEG de un paciente con lesión no perforante/cerrada en la cabeza mostraría: actividad de una variante de epilepsia en el rango de 3-5 hertz en el área cortical donde ocurrió el daño.

Para tu tranquiliad sobre el género femenino de "variante", escribe "una variante de epilepsia" en tu buscador e ingresa en :

http://books.google.com.ar/books?id=253QHewpg_QC&pg=PA131&lp...

Allí encontrarás un libro sobre el tratamiento de la epilepsia "Encefalograma en la epilepsia pediátrica" donde además tienes mucha terminología en castellano.

Reference: petit mal /petit mal variant

Reference information:
"Petit mal variant" or Lennox syndrome
petit mal variant (PMV) pour les dsitinguer des décharges de pointe -ondes (PO) rythmiques à 3 c/s alors considérées pathognomoniques du Petit Mal (PM) typique.
Deux formes d'épilepsies.le petit mal et le petit mal variant une traduction EEG particulière à chaque crise.

AUSENCIAS

Históricamente el término "petit mal" es el más conocido en el campo de la epilepsia y desde los primeros escritos de Huglings Jackson se le atribuyó la característica de ser una forma especial de crisis que ocurre predominantemente en niños. Modernamente el término "ausencias" ha ido ganando popularidad en virtud de que describe bastante acertadamente lo que ocurre con el niño



En 1939 Gibbs, y Lennox, hacen la separación electroencefalográfica de las ausencias típicas y las atípicas llamadas en ese entonces "petit mal variant".

El EEG del PM es característico registrándose durante una ausencia típica una descarga de punta-onda de 3Hz bilateral, sincrónica y simétrica.
El PM debe diferenciarse de la "ausencia atípica" del síndrome de Lennox Gastaut, de las "ausencias temporales" y del síndrome mioclónicoastático
