Sphenoidal EEG recording in complex partial seizures. 1986

M Y Neufeld, and D F Cohn, and A D Korczyn

A prospective study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of sphenoidal EEG recording during wakefulness, as compared to routine tracings awake and asleep, for recognizing epileptic electroencephalographic foci in patients with complex partial seizures. Fifty patients were investigated. Following sleep deprivation a routine waking EEG, a sleep tracing and an awake recording with sphenoidal needles were obtained. In nine patients temporal epileptiform activity was apparent in all three conditions (wakefulness, sleep and with sphenoidal electrodes). In 21 patients temporal epileptiform activity was seen during sleep only, while the sphenoidal leads were non-contributory. In 20 patients epileptiform activity was not recorded under any of the above conditions. This study indicates that sphenoidal recording during wakefulness does not contribute to the detection of epileptic discharges in patients with complex partial seizures.

D004833 Epilepsy, Temporal Lobe A localization-related (focal) form of epilepsy characterized by recurrent seizures that arise from foci within the TEMPORAL LOBE, most commonly from its mesial aspect. A wide variety of psychic phenomena may be associated, including illusions, hallucinations, dyscognitive states, and affective experiences. The majority of complex partial seizures (see EPILEPSY, COMPLEX PARTIAL) originate from the temporal lobes. Temporal lobe seizures may be classified by etiology as cryptogenic, familial, or symptomatic. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p321).
