Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the predictive value of EEG in:
Control of epilepsy during treatment.
Relapse of epilepsy after withdrawal of antiepileptic drugs.
This study involved 120 patients with generalized epilepsy divided into 4 groups.
group 1: Epileptic patients under treatment and controlled.
group 2: Epileptic patients under treatment but not controlled.
group 3: Epileptic patients after withdrawal and no relapse.
group 4: Epileptic patients after withdrawal and relapse.
Patients were diagnosed as generalized epilepsy based on the criteria of
ILAE (2017).
All patients were subjected to the following:
*Full history taking,
*Clinical examination.
* EEG
*Neuroimaging ( MRI ).
Summary &Conclusion
63
The results showed the following:
• There was a highly significant association between EEG abnormalities and
uncontrolled epilepsy.
• There was a highly significant relationship between structural lesions by
neuroimaging and relapsed epilepsy.
• There was a difference regarding patients with psychiatric disorder and
relapsed epilepsy.
• There was non difference among studied groups regarding IQ and
controlling of epilepsy.
CONCLUSION:
EEG is an inexpensive, non-invasive, simple, portable, and potentially
useful tool for diagnosis and prognosis and early recognition of seizures.
Structural abnormality by neuroimaging predict poor response to treatment.
Many factors can predict seizures control such as clinical types, response to
one drug, age of onset, and presence of psychiatric disorders.
