Letter on: 3D figure of epilepsy syndromes

[...]we begin with the anamnesis, noting the presence of any factors that might increase the likelihood of epilepsy, the development of the child, the age of presentation, the semiology of the seizures and the results of the neurological examination. [...]focal seizures predominate in patients whose EEGs show features consistent with Category V. Accurately categorizing the EEG and using it to help guide diagnosis of an epilepsy syndrome in turn helps the treating neurologist better understand appropriate workup and treatment options. Patients with Category V EEG's may develop drug resistant epilepsy and be surgical candidates. [...]consideration of technologies such as EEG source localization, and advanced imaging are important to consider in drug-resistant epilepsies with Category V EEGs.
