Abstract

We report the case of a 29 year old woman with post traumatic epilepsy which began at 20 year old. She presented multi-daily absence seizures, motor automatisms and headaches. Brain CT-scan performed, highlighted several punctiform hyperdense images like calcifications leading to the conclusion of intracerebral and subcutaneous bullet fragments. Her personal history reported head injuries at the age of 2 years in a context of unexplored and little followed armed conflict. Awake and sleep EEG found a well-organized EEG diagram with diffuse inter ictal spikes and spike-waves discharges mainly in bi-fronto-temporal area compatible with focal epilepsy with secondary generalization. Valproic acid 1500 mg/day had been used and evolution at 3 months (April 2020) found no seizures increasing, sometimes headaches relieved by drugs.

Abstract

Introduction: The diagnosis of epilepsy is mainly based on clinical features. Electroencephalography (EEG) is mainly essential on classifying epilepsy and epileptic syndromes. Our purpose is to demonstrate EEG has a role in setting the diagnosis of epilepsy. Method: We have studied the EEG of 775 patients of all age-groups registered in the EEGs laboratory of Fann Teaching hospital from July 1st to November 15th 2018. We included all patients not previously known with epilepsy. The EEGs conclusion were taken from the digital database. We have split them into two groups EEG abnormal versus EEG normal. The statistical analyzes were made by Epi Info 7.2.3.1. Results: The median age was 14 years old. The patient age range was from 38 days to 86 years. Patients with abnormal EEG were at 38% of the total. After univariate study were significantly associated with an abnormal EEG patients who came for focal onset crisis (74%) and those who came for spasm (84%). All with status epilepticus had abnormal EEG. Patients with generalized crises had an abnormal EEG in 60% but that was not significant. Diagnosis seek by pediatrician was significantly associated abnormal EEG. Conclusion: EEG is a very affordable test which plays a key role on the diagnosis of epilepsy. It sensitivity is closely linked with the experience of the ordering physician. Broad awareness of epilepsy among healthcare professionals and the community would be an important step in improving patient’s management.
