title: [Focal epileptic activity during induced sleep in secondary Lennox-Gastaut syndrome].
abstract: Fifteen patients with secondary Lennox-Gastaut syndrome were submitted to monthly clinical and electroencephalographic examinations for periods of time varying from 1 to 9 years. Twelve of these patients showed focal epileptic activity during induced sleep. In the present report we describe the localization, morphology and frequency of these focal discharges.
