Abstract

The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a specific diagnostic method for the evaluation of patients with epilepsies. Interictal epileptiform discharges (IED) recorded in the seizure interval have a high association with the clinical diagnosis of epilepsy. IEDs have to be differentiated from normal variants that resemble IEDs. The EEG may help in the localization of the epileptogenic zone and in the syndrome classification, which is important for therapy and prognosis.
