Ten-year experience with abnormal EEGs in asymptomatic adult males

This study reports a 10-year experience of the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine with spike waves of focal spikes on a screening electroencephalogram in aviators who did not have a history of seizure, unexplained loss of consciousness, or significant neurologic abnormality at the time of the first abnormal electroencephalogram. Only one of 20 patients went on to develop a seizure disorder 4 years after his first abnormal electroencephalogram.
