[Clinico-electroencephalographic correlations in the process of rehabilitation of patients with epilepsy].
A total of 50 patients with epilepsy underwent an electroencephalographic investigation at the rehabilitation stage during remission. EEG tests established that the discontinuation of epileptic seizures was followed by a stepwise compensatory EEG rearrangement. In patients that had had rare seizures, the EEG normalization was characteristic of the 2 to 3 years-long remissions. With frequent polymorphic seizures, the background activity was normalized in the steady remission of many (5 and more) years duration. The cessation of antiepileptic therapy should be effected under a mandatory EEG control. The absence of negative EEG changes on anticonvulsants discontinuation is a sign of correct treatment paradigm.
