Association of patients with parkinsonism and epilepsy with EEG changes

EEG is an important diagnostic method for epilepsies. EEG changes in patients with Parkinson's disease and epilepsy are not unknown or unexpected events. We investigated 250 Parkinson's disease patients. Epileptic seizures were recorded in 10 patients. Four patients had generalized tonic clonic seizures; 3 partial complex seizures, 2 of which with secondary generalization; while 3 patients had right-handed simple motor partial seizure. Clinical and neurophysiological investigations, neuroimagining techniques electroencephalographic investigations (EEG, EEG in sleep) were conducted. Our patients were well controlled with antiepileptic therapy.
