Overview
EEG with sleep deprivation is helpful when standard EEG does not detect any epileptiform changes. Lumbar puncture (LP) should be considered in those patients suggesting meningitis, encephalitis, or subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Other Diagnostic Studies
- EEG with sleep deprivation is helpful when standard EEG does not detect any epileptiform changes.[1] EEG should be performed as soon as possible and can detect:[2]
- Focal sharp waves or spikes (focal epilepsy)
- Bilateral/generalized epileptiform activity (generalized epilepsy)
- Lumbar puncture (LP) should be considered in those patients suggesting the following causes:[3]
