2 Fig. 1 Relationships between clinical and EEG findings. (a) Basal EEG with eyes closed. (b) Beginning of an episode.

(EMG 2 and EMG 3: right and left deltoid muscle, respectively). Seizure - European Journal of Epilepsy  , DOI: ( /j.seizure ) Copyright © 2014 British Epilepsy Association Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 Dyskinetic movements at different times during a video-EEG recorded hypoglycemic episode. Three frames showing sustained dystonic posturing and opisthotonus occurring about 2h after the onset of an episode.
