EEG, abbreviation
In an old research document (1974) on carbromal poisoning:
Bei der Diagnose der schweren Intoxication berücksichtigen wir nach Ausschluß anderer Komaursachen
[...]
2. schwere Allgemeinveränderungen im EEG: burst-suppression-Muster, suppression-areas (früher "IE"), delta-Wellen mit steilen Komponenten ("delta + s").
So we're looking for another way of saying "suppression area", that could be abbreviated IE.
Even "suppression area" doesn't Google very well though, though I think I've understood what it is.
Thanks for your help.

Comment: "Hi, thank you everyone for your input! I'm not sure that Infantile Encephalopathy fits, because there is no context of children, and IE certainly seems to describe a symptom and not a diagnosis, but it was an interesting suggestion, thank you. I'm giving Merry the points because it seems to me that he/she was able to put us onto the right track. Thanks to everyone though!"

Abbreviation for "Infantile Encephalopathy"
I would leave this abbreviation as it is, because it already is an English one. Hope this is helpful!
