Abstract
Positive interictal epileptiform discharges were recorded from the scalp of a patient with new onset complex partial epilepsy. A follow-up EEG revealed negative and positive spikes. The patient was treated successfully with phenytoin. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of exclusively surface positive spikes in an EEG of an adult without a skull defect who had epilepsy.Keywords
