Periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges are a type of EEG abnormality. They are one of the most frequent paroxystic complexes.[1] They are basically triphasic with sharply contoured wave followed by a slow wave mostly occurring unilaterally with duration 100-300 msec and amplitude 100-300 often present with fast rhythm between discharges. In recent literature it is referred to as Lateralized periodic discharges.[2]
