DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS OF PAROXYSMAL ACTIVITY ON EEG

Abstract

According to the literature, the overdiagnosis of epilepsy is 20-25% of all newly diagnosed cases of epilepsy, which is associated mainly with the erroneous interpretation of clinical and electroencephalographic data, including an incorrect interpretation of some types of paroxysmal activity on the EEG, of non-epileptic nature. Based on own observations the author presents the examples of differential diagnosis of different paroxysmal conditions and describes their differences from epilepsy.
