A member asked:
Can parasomnia show up on an eeg and be mistaken for a seizure back in 98 my son was 16 and had 1 abnormal eeg then one normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Parasomnia: I am not aware that parasomnias have been studies with eeg, although any seizure disorder, Alpha or delta wave abnormality, or other spike and wave disorders would manifest in a sleep- deprived, or 24 hr eeg monitoring. My advise is consulting a epileptologist and a sleep disorder specialist. Thank you for the question.
