Abstract :

Introduction: EEG (Electroencephalogram) is a medical imaging technique that reads scalp electrical activity generated by ain structures. One way to investigate electrical signals of the ain is to record scalp potential resulting from ain activity. The recorded signal .i.e. the potential difference between the two positions is called electroencephalogram. So the purpose was to study the electroencephalographic changes in cases of epilepsy with the help of morphology of EEG waves with regard to its type, focus of origin and lateralization. Material and Methods: This was a prospective 200 admitted epileptic children were assessed . Males and females in the age group 1 year –18 years who were k/c/o epilepsy. Epileptic children admitted in our hospital with an active seizure episode were included in the study. Observation and Results Maximum number (107 cases) 61.1% of the epileptic children have normal interictal EEG records as compared to only 38.9% (68 cases) with abnormal interictal EEG. Most of the abnormal interictal EEG 39 cases (57.4%) comprised of normal background as against 29 cases (42.6%) with abnormal background. Conclusion: Lesser the degree of control of seizures, higher is the probability of abnormal interictal EEG record of epileptic children. All children with fully controlled seizure have a normal interictal EEG record.
