EEGS Findings Among Adults Sudanese Subjects Presented to the National Ribat University

“…Primary generalized epileptiform discharges were found to be the most dominant disorder. It was 45.5% in the total study population, which is in accordance of Hussein et al [13]with minimal gender difference -43.3% in males versus 49.4% in females. They showed that primary generalized epileptiform discharges had an incidence of 39-59% of their cases.…”

A Study on Clinical Profile and Etiology of Partial Seizures in Adults at Tertiary Care Centre

“…Similar results were shown in study conducted by Nitin Joseph et al, in a study on pattern of seizure cases in tertiary care hospitals in Karnatka, state of India which showed a family history of 8.4% (20) . Family history of epilepsy in a study carried out in Sudan was present in 20% cases, which were higher than our observations (23) . Different radiological studies done in our study were MRI brain in 45.19% of cases, followed by NCCT brain (40%), followed by CECT brain (20%).…”

“…As per our study EEG was done in 69 (51.11%) number of cases out of which 49.28% were abnormal. A study done in Jaipur (38) and Sudan (23) found that EEG was abnormal in 58.9% and 64.8% epilepsy patients respectively, which was slightly more than our study. CT was abnormal in 33.5% cases in Jaipur based study (39) which was similar to our study which showed that out of total 40% of NCCT brain done in our study only 2.22% came out to be normal, but the Sudan based study (23) found it in 16.7% cases, which was lower than our observations.…”
