The identifying characteristics of the electroencephalogram in centrencephalic epilepsy have been outlined by Penfield and Jasper (1954) as including a bilaterally synchronous onset of abnormality which consists of wave-and-spike activity at or near a frequency of 3 per second. This is in contrast to the E.E.G. abnormality seen in cases of focal cortical epilepsy in which sharp waves predominat...

An EEG signal is used for capturing the signals from brain, which helps in localization of epileptogenic region, thereby plays a vital role successful surgery. The focal and non-focal are obtained region normal respectively. epileptic seizure with help necessary while detecting seizures. Hence, present article provides detailed analysis signals. Focal Non-focal decomposed using EMD-DWT. A combi...

Reflex seizures are seizures that are elicited by sensory or cognitive stimuli. These stimuli can be very diverse but are usually highly specific within one patient. The type of seizures that are induced by these stimuli can be tonic-clonic seizures, myoclonic jerks with or without absences, and absences with facial myoclonus. Focal seizures can also occur. A wide range of different stimuli hav...

Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is one of the most common causes in developing pharmacoresistant epilepsy. We present clinical case patient with generalized seizures. Routine electroencephalography (EEG) data registered diffuse epileptiform activity that allowed to diagnose genetic eneralized epilepsy and course seizures.After performing magnetic resonance imaging using epileptological program v...

The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) presents a revised operational classification of seizure types. The purpose of such a revision is to recognize that some seizure types can have either a focal or generalized onset, to allow classification when the onset is unobserved, to include some missing seizure types, and to adopt more transparent names. Because current knowledge is insuffic...

PURPOSE To review the clinical, electrographic, radiological, and pathological findings of patients with coexistent idiopathic generalized and partial epilepsy syndromes. METHODS We performed a medical record review and a phone interview with all patients hospitalized to the Cleveland Clinic epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) between 1992 and 2002 who fulfilled clinical and EEG criteria of coexis...

IMPORTANCE The increasing use of continuous electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring in the intensive care unit has led to recognition of new EEG patterns that are of unclear or unknown significance. OBJECTIVE To describe an EEG pattern, lateralized rhythmic delta activity (LRDA), encountered in critically ill subjects and determine its clinical significance in this setting. DESIGN, SETTING, A...

A child had the characteristic clinical and EEG pattern of migrating partial seizures in infancy with left temporal lobe atrophy, hippocampal sclerosis and cortical-subcortical blurring. Seizures were drug-resistant, with recurring episodes of status epilepticus. The child developed microcephaly with arrest of psychomotor development. Focal brain lesions, in the context of migrating partial sei...
