,ANSWER 1 · SOURCE 399
What pathologic transients are seen in the figure?
D. High-amplitude spike-and-slow-wave with superimposed fast activity
CLINICAL RATIONALE
The keyed answer reflects a composite epileptiform morphology: a high-amplitude sharp/spike component, an associated slow wave,
and superimposed fast activity. Describing each visible component is preferable to forcing a simpler label when the waveform is
polyphasic.[1,2]
