No spike-and-wave discharges or any lateralizing abnormalities are seen. It blocks with eye opening and it is bilaterally synchronous and symmetrical. Routine 18-channel digital EEG was obtained to rule out any seizure activity or focal abnormalities.įINDINGS: Background rhythm during awake stage shows well-organized, well-developed, average voltage 8 to 9 hertz alpha activity in the posterior regions.

This is an outpatient 58-year-old right-handed white male with history of episodes of confusion and staring. Prominent beta activity in the anterior regions could be secondary to anxiety or medication effect. IMPRESSION: Suboptimal study, no clear paroxysmal activities or epileptiform discharges were seen. The patient was noted by the technician to be restless and moving all the time during the study and having tremors of the mouth and arms. Photic stimulation did not produce any abnormalities. Almost constant EMG artifacts and tremor artifacts are noted making the study suboptimal. Routine 21-channel digital EEG was obtained to rule out any seizure activity or focal abnormalities.įINDINGS: Background rhythm during awake stage shows poorly organized, low voltage fast beta activity in the anterior regions. This is a 76-year-old right-handed white female with a history of sudden change in mental status, confusion, possible cerebrovascular accident or seizures.
