Fig. 1 EEG (all panels with Low Pass filter 70Hz, High Pass 0.3Hz, Notch 50Hz, 20s/page): (a) diffuse slowing with multifocal triphasic waves (arrows) associated with levetiracetam accumulation; (b) normalization of the EEG after down titration of levetiracetam according to the renal function; (c) relapse of myoclonic jerks 48h after total cessation of levetiracetam. Epileptogenic focus with spikes and polyspikes at the vertex occurring with/without or without synchronous myoclonic jerks (thick/thin arrow); (d) same EEG page as (c), displayed in a transverse montage to highlight the paramedian localisation of the epileptiform discharges.
