Ictal video-EEGs. 1. EEG recording #1 showing one clinical right motor partial secondarily generalized seizure. Unfortunately, we no obtained permission for publishing the video. On the fourteenth and fifteenth channel an artefact resulting from poor contact is observed. On slow background observing frontal parasagittal generation with maximum negativity at F3. In following screens, the focus extends to parasagittal and temporal areas. Later, rhythmic polyspikes-wave extends to both hemispheres. Finally, when seizure finishes, polyspikes-slow waves for several seconds (15 mm = 1 sec; A = 50 mv). 2. EEG recording #2 at 28 minutes. IV Clonazepam stopped the clinical episode but left frontal pseudoperiodic activity continued (15 mm = 1 sec; A = 50 mv). 3. EEG recording #3 at 30 minutes showing similar findings to previous (15 mm = 1 sec; A = 50 mv).
