Abstract
We analyzed retrospectively the clinical and EEG data in 13 patients with simple partial seizures (SPS). All EEGs were recorded with surface electrodes with the standard 10-20 system and additional closely spaced scalp and subfrontotemporal skin electrodes. Seventy-seven seizures were recorded. We detected electrographic correlates with SPS in 10 of 13 patients (77%) and in 47 of 77 seizures (61%). The most common ictal correlates were rhythmic theta waves or spikes. Of the SPS with EEG changes, 58% were motor, 14% were sensory, and 28% were psychic seizures. Use of additional electrodes and recording channels may account for the higher incidence of EEG changes in this study than has been reported previously in the literature.Keywords
