Focal Epilepsy
This type of seizure starts in one specific area of the brain and the person remains aware
What is Simple Partial Seizure?
This EEG abnormality is most commonly seen in children and is strongly associated with epilepsy
What are Focal Spikes?
This seizure type occurs during fever and is common in 3-4%
What is a Febrile Seizure?
This montage is best of identifying asymmetry in EEG recordings
What is the Double Banana Montage?
This seizure type involves sudden stiffening of muscles and is often seen in Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome.
What is a Tonic Seizure?
This Lobe is the most common site for focal seizures.
This seizure type shows 3-per-second spike-and-wave discharge and is often mistaken for daydreaming.
What is an Absence Seizure?
This Seizure type involves uncontrollable laughter and is often caused by a hypothalamic tumor.
What is a Gelastic Seizure?
This EEG pattern is seen in the occipital lobe and is often associated with visual problem like strabismus or amblyopia.
The are Occiptial spikes?
What is an Atonic Seizure?
These EEG features are seen in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and may include deja vu or olfactory hallucinations
What are Rhythmic Delta or Theta waves?
This chaotic EEG pattern is associated with Infantile Spasms and includes high amplitude disorganized waves.
What is Hypsarrhythmia?
This condition mimics seizure by is actually a fainting episode with possible myoclonic jerks.
What is Vasovagal Syncope?
This EEG pattern is characterized by nearly characterized by nearly continuous epileptiform discharges and is commonly seen in children with cortical malformations
What is Focal Cortical Dysplasia?
This seizure type show rhythmic spike and wave discharges that match the rate of jerking movements.
What is a Clonic Seizure?
This type of epilepsy often shows Beta activity at onset and requires subdural or depth electrodes for diagnosis.
What is Neocortical Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
This EEG pattern is slower than 3/sec and is linked to Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome.
What is Slow spike and Wave?
This fatal complication of epilepsy has no identifiable cause and may involve arrhythmias or respiratory suppression.
What is SUEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy)?
This EEG feature is seen in Rolandic epilepsy and is maximal at C5 or C6
What are Rolandic Spikes?
This seizure begins in one part of the brain and spreads to both hemispheres, becoming generalized.
What is a Secondary Generalized Seizure?
This EEG pattern is associated with seizures starting in the left hemisphere and may affect speech and language.
What are Left Temporal Spikes?
This condition is caused by a mutated measles virus and show periodic high-voltage discharges on EEG.
What is SSPE( Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis)?
This complex febrile seizure syndrome may be a precursor to Dravet Syndrome or FIRES.
This EEG abnormality show rhythmic delta activity in the occipital region and may be associated with absence seizures.
What is occipitally dominant IRDA?
This seizure type show hypersynchronous discharge and occurs in an unconscious patient.
What is Focal seizure with Impaired Awareness?
