    Ictal EEG showing right frontal onset followed by bilateral high voltage spike discharge which invariably coincided with clinical onset of atonic seizure. There is subsequent diffuse electrodecrement

    Ictal EEG showing right frontal onset followed by bilateral high voltage spike discharge which invariably coincided with clinical onset of atonic seizure. There is subsequent diffuse electrodecrement and fast activity.

  • Image Result
    Ictal EEG displayed with referential montage, showing evolution of ictal activity into diffuse spike and slow wave activity.
