Epilepsy epileptiform discharges

A routine EEG can be helpful if epileptiform discharges are seen. However, the EEG may be normal between seizures, and most routine EEGs are not performed during a seizure. Maneuvers such as sleep deprivation, photic stimulation, hyperventilation, or prolonged monitoring can help reveal EEG changes consistent with epilepsy. [Pg.447]

Physical examination usually reveals diffusely increased muscle tone during infancy that normalizes with age. Tapping of the forehead results in excessive head retraction. Deep tendon reflexes are generally hyperactive. The preservation of consciousness and the absence of epileptiform discharges on EEG distinguish hyperekplexia from startle epilepsy (Andermann et al 1980). [Pg.98]
