Abstract

Triphasic waves can be seen in a wide range of medical conditions, particularly in metabolic encephalopathies. Neuroimaging studies provide valuable diagnostic information for neurological conditions and can also help in our understanding of anatomical substrates for these conditions. Because of practical challenges and the fact that most encephalopathies with triphasic waves are presumed to be metabolic in etiology, large studies of imaging findings associated with triphasic waves are limited. We present a summary of studies that are currently available and a discussion of insights that these studies provide.
