A member asked:
Constant eeg monitering for 2 days--diagnosed with "central epilepsy." can anyone explain what it is, how prevelant it is, etc.? taking 250 mg topomax
A doctor has provided 1 answer
EEG: A continuous eeg that shows epileptiform discharges aids in the diagnosis of epilepsy. I am not sure about the context if the term central epilepsy but would discuss the results of the eeg with your neurologist, preferably with one with expertise in epilepsy.
