Idiopathic generalized epilepsies in the epilepsy monitoring unit: Systematic quantification of focal EEG and semiological signs

CONCLUSIONS: All included patients with IGE showed focal IEDs and three-quarter had focal seizure symptoms irrespective of the specific IGE subgroup. Focal IED localization had no significant effect on lateralization and localization of FSS.SIGNIFICANCE: Our findings may facilitate diagnostic and treatment decisions in patients with suspected IGE and focal signs.PMID:38603948 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.03.025
