| Popis: | Association of occipital intermittent rhythmic delta activity with absence seizures has been well documented in the published literature. Two recent studies have also described an association with focal seizures. After obtaining approval from our Institutional Review Board, all electroencephalograms with occipital intermittent rhythmic delta activity at our institution between July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2009 were identified. Charts of these patients were reviewed to collect clinical data. A matched comparison group was assembled. Thirty-one of the patients who met criteria had evaluable clinical data. Fifteen had generalized seizures (9 absence; 2 tonic-clonic; 3 absence and tonic-clonic; 1 absence, tonic-clonic, myoclonic, and atonic). Eleven had focal seizures. One had both generalized tonic-clonic and focal seizures. Events in 1 were nonepileptic in nature. Documentation was inadequate for seizure classification in 3. There was a statistically significant difference between the study and comparison groups for absence seizures, but not for focal seizures. |
