*2.3.4 EEG differential diagnosis*

A discontinuous EEG pattern with resemblances to S-B can be seen in neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, but in this condition, the pattern is generally transient and can be reactive. Treatment for neonatal status epilepticus, such as midazolam, sufentanil, and fentanyl infusion, may exhibit a pattern evocative of S-B.
