Epilepsy is most prevalent in elderly patients especially after the age of 60 and reaching a prevalence rate of approximately 1.5% by age 75 [1,2]. As the world’s population is aging and the number of people living after the age of 60 is increasing, so will the prevalence of epilepsy. Although it is generally easier to control seizures in this age group, the age-related physiological changes can alter the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic properties of anti-seizure medications (ASMs) making them less ...

Electroencephalography (EEG) remains an essential diagnostic tool in the evaluation of seizure disorders. The most recent clinical guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology for both children [1] and adults [2] recommend that an EEG be obtained after a single unprovoked seizure. Indeed, EEG abnormalities may be useful in identifying epileptogenic foci, structural abnormalities, and/or electrographic patterns associated with specific epilepsy syndromes. However, it is the potential predictive value of EEG that can have the most prominent role in the ...
