ILAE 1989 There may be two reasons why a determination of whether seizures are focal or generalized cannot be made: (a) The patient has both focal and generalized seizures together or in succession (e.g., partial seizures plus absences), and has both focal and generalized EEG seizure discharges (e.g., temporal spike focus plus independent bilateral spike-wave discharges); and (b) there are no positive signs of either focal or generalized seizure onset. The most common reasons for this are that the seizures occur during sleep, the patient recalls no aura, and ancillary investigations including EEG are not revealing. |
