ABSTRACT
The role of sleep and sleep deprivation as inducer of paroxysmal abnormalities in EEG was studies in 104 infants and children under 14 years of age. These children suffered from various types of seizures and of normal standard EEG. These children who suffered from seizures of epileptic origin, after sleep deprivation had an EEG that showed a paroxysmal activity of 70.91% of the cases (p less than 0.001). The forced lack of sleep and the sleep that follows were found to be equally important as activators of paroxysmal abnormalities. The method of activation was found to be efficient in both partial an generalized seizures. The paroxysmal abnormalities were noted as being greater in phase II sleep. The EEG in sleep deprivation can show paroxysmal abnormalities, in children with epileptic seizures, that were hidden from standard EEG.
