2 Fig. 1 An example of an EEG of a patient with NCSE. It shows anteriorly dominant sharp and slow wave complexes with a very prominent positive component and a longer duration slow wave, which could be atypical triphasic waves. Although encephalopathy might be a differential diagnosis, this patient improved on antiepileptic treatment. The figures show the 1a) baseline and 1b) recordings 10 seconds and 1c) 20 seconds later.

3 Fig. 2 The EEG pattern of the 42-year-old female with right frontal oligoastrocytoma. She presented with an NCSE after a right frontotemporal trepanation. The status did not respond to treatment.
