摘要
Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate whether asymmetric EEGs findings may occur in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Methods and materials: We analyzed retrospectively 80 serial EEGs of patients with unequivocal diagnosis of idiopathic generalized epilepsy. These patients were diagnosed at our outpatient clinic over the last 10 year period. Results: In 24 patients (10 with JME, 12 with GTSA and 2 with JAE) (30% of the total 80 patients with IGE) at least one EEG showed asymmetric EEG findings. Conclusion: Patients with typical idiopathic generalized epilepsies show a high incidence of focal EEGs features. In our study (30% of the patients with IGE) were revealed asymmetric EEGs findings. In cases of discordance of the clinical features with EEG findings it is essential to proceed in EEG after sleep deprivation or in serial EEGs,
