 NGC - NGC Summary
Although an electroencephalogram done within 24 hours of the seizure is most likely to show abnormalities, physicians should be aware that some abnormalities such as postictal slowing that can be seen on electroencephalogram done within 24 to 48 hours of a seizure may be transient and must be interpreted with caution.
Epileptiform electroencephalogram abnormalities may be useful in confirming that the event was a seizure; however, an electroencephalogram abnormality by itself is not sufficient to make a diagnosis that an epileptic seizure occurred, nor can its absence rule out a seizure.
The electroencephalogram is necessary to determine the epilepsy syndrome and the diagnosis of an epilepsy syndrome may be helpful in determining the need for imaging studies.

In the right temporal region, the background rhythm is, at times, replaced where there is superimposed slightly sharply contoured activity rhythmical that has the appearance of a breach rhythm and probably, represents the underlying skull defect from the hydrocephalus shunt.

 PHRC Study 190 Members
The electroencephalograms of 9 day old offspring were sampled over 24 hours.
Female offspring exposed prenatally to 20mg and males exposed prenatally to 40mg displayed an increase in delta and a decrease in alpha and middle beta wave form activities.
The author's conclusion is that prenatal phenobarbital exposure produces dose- and sex-dependant changes in the electroencephalogram of mature offspring consistent with a generalised deficit in the neuronal synchronisation mechanisms that are critical for normal sleep and learning.
