Abstract:
we reviewed data from 547EEGs on 400 patients with epilepsy in order to determine the probability in finding the interictal epileptiform activity (IIEA) with serial EEGs. In 49.5% of our patients, the abnormaeity is present on the first record. In 53.5% by the second EEG, and in 54.25% by the third or above. There is relatively little yield to serial EEGs beyond this point. Patient's ages, types of seizures and causes are negatively correlated to IIEA yield
