Aims and objectives – To analyze EEG findings in clinically diagnosed cases of seizure disorders in children and study age wise & gender wise prevalence in them . Materials and methods – 46 patients of age up to 12 years who were having the abnormal EEG pattern were selected for the study whose EEG were recorded by “RMS –EEG Superspec 32 channels machine.” Observations and results – 44 out of 46 subjects were having generalized tonic clonic seizures and out of 44 cases ; 10 were suffering from feile seizures.
