[The diagnostic value of the EEG in multiple sclerosis (author's transl)].
245 records of 178 multiple sclerotic patients were assessed from 110 EEG-parameters and 18 clinical points of view. According to the special code the data were stored on cards and later statistically evaluated. The following conclusions were made: 1. 64% of all records were abnormal. 2. The frequency of bilateral and generalized abnormalities was significantly higher with brain stem localization of clinical signs. 3. In the progressiv phase of the disease there was a significantly greater occurrance of bilateral slow EEG abnormalities and bilateral potentially epileptic signs (sharp waves, bilateral paroxysms). 4. Focal EEG abnormality is seldom found in multiple sclerosis.
