An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of epilepsy. Findings on an EEG suggestive of epilepsy include:

Epilepsy

Generalized

Focal

Tonic–Clonic Seizures

Absences

Focal Seizures without Altered Consciousness

Focal Seizures with Altered Consciousness

synchronous generalized spikes and waves in all leads

bursts of synchronous, generalized spike-and-wave activity at a frequency of approximately 3 Hz

localized epileptic activity over the seizure focus

temporal slow waves or spikes. In the interictal period/Normal EGG
