Seizure semiology x EEG
| Seizure semiology/EEG | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Focal | Multifocal | Generalized | Burst‐suppression | |
| Clonic (n = 36) | 22 (61.1%) | 8 (22.2%) | 1 (2.8%) | 5 (13.9%) |
| Tonic (n = 26) | 3 (11.5%) | 8 (30.8%) | 0 (0.0%) | 15 (57.7%) |
| Myoclonic (n = 9) | 2 (22.2%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 7 (77.8%)* , ** |
| Automatisms (n = 1) | 1 (100%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) |
| Spasms (n = 3) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 3 (100%)** |
| Sequential (n = 62) | 16 (25.8%) | 28 (45.2%) | 0 (0.0%) | 18 (29.0%)** |
| Autonomic (n = 14) | 12 (85.7%) | 2 (14.3%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) |
Burst‐suppression was described as an ictal pattern* in one neonate with myoclonic seizures and in one with spasms; as an interictal pattern** in 4 with myoclonic and four with sequential seizures; for the others it was not clearly defined as ictal or interictal pattern/background abnormality.
