title: ["Epileptic" spiked vertex potentials in brief sleep after sleep reduction].
abstract: Patients with suspected seizure disorders frequently show graphoelements which can be interpreted as the expression of a disposition for epilepsy. These sharp vertex elements were evident in 54 out of 719 short term sleep recordings, more often in children than in adults. 49 times they coincided with typical epileptic discharges such as sharp waves, spikes or spike waves in the same recording.
