Abstract Accumulated experience has delineated numerous distinctive electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns that are morphologically epileptiform but have no relationship to the process responsible for generating epileptic seizures and have little or no practical value for diagnosis. These anomalous patterns need to be distinguished carefully from the highly abnormal types of EEG activity that continue to have important diagnostic value.
