Truncal Instability and Titubation in Patients With Acute Encephalopathy With Reduced Subcortical Diffusion.

ABSTRACT: The present retrospective study aimed to investigate the presence of truncal instability or titubation after the first seizure and second phase in patients with acute encephalopathy with reduced subcortical diffusion (AED). Of the 15 patients with AED who were admitted to our hospital for 3 years and 2 months and had reached developmental milestones for sitting before disease onset, six experienced moderate-to-severe truncal instability while sitting after the first seizure. These patients had a significantly longer first seizure duration and significantly lower GCS scores 12-24 h after the first seizure, as well as significantly higher Tada score and Creatinine and blood glucose levels than those with mild or no truncal instability while in a seated position after the first seizure.
