2021, Journal of the American College of RadiologyWhen should we obtain a routine EEG while managing people with epilepsy?
2021, Epilepsy and Behavior ReportsCitation Excerpt :An abnormal EEG with generalized spike-and-wave (GSW) discharges is a consistent predictor for seizure recurrence [22–26]. IEDs present in the EEG have a high specificity for people with epilepsy (Fig. 2) and is associated with a 2–3 times higher risk for seizure recurrence than a normal EEG [22–26]. In 105 abnormal EEGs containing 6,923 IEDs in consecutive patients diagnosed with generalized genetic epilepsy (GGE), the density and duration of IEDs were used to subtype epilepsy syndromes [27].
