Intermittent rhythmic delta activity (IRDA) is a type of brain wave abnormality found in electroencephalograms (EEG)[1].

Types

It can be classified based on the area of brain it originates from:

  • frontal (FIRDA)
  • occipital (OIRDA)
  • temporal (TIRDA)[2]

It can also be

  • Unilateral
  • Bilateral

Significance

It can be caused by a number of different reasons, some benign, unknown reasons, but also are commonly associated with lesions, tumors, and encephalopathies.[3] Association with periventricular white matter disease and cortical atrophy has been documented and they are more likely to show up during acute metabolic derangements such as uremia and hyperglycemia.[4]
