What is a typical EEG pattern associated with absence seizures 3Hz spike-and-wave
EEG manifestations as eyelid myoclonia with and without absences, eye closure induced
seizures, EEG paroxysms and photosensitivity: Jeavons syndrome
Hypsarrythmia is a pattern most associated with: Infantile spasms
A prolonged series of generalized convulsions without any period of consciousness between
them is referred to as; Status epilepticus
Rhythmic theta activity in the temporal region is most commonly associated with which seizure
type: Complex partial
The acronym used to describe distinctive EEG waves or complexes that occur between seizures
and are distinguished from the background activity: IEDs, interictal epileptiform
discharges

Immediately following a generalized tonic-clinic seizure, the EEG typically shows:
Generalized slowing
Landu-Kleffner syndrome is associated with: Aphasia
A childhood disorder characterized by acquired aphasia, multifocal epileptiform abnormalities,
and focal or generalized seizures: Landau-Kleffner syndrome
In patients with myoclonic epilepsy of Janz, seizures are most likely to occur: Early in the
morning
The EEG is most likely to show hypsarrythmia pattern in patients with: West Syndrome
The EEG of a patient with hepatic encephalopathy is most likely to show: Generalized
triphasic waves
An EEG pattern usually seen in toxic-metabolic encephalopathies, most commonly hepatic or
renal. Usually associated with an alteration of consciousness. Triphasic Waves
