    - The EEG Shows A) Ictal EEG shows a diffuse myogenic artifact, which is followed by a buildup of rhythmic theta activity in the right parasagittal region, evolving in frequency and amplitude. B) The interictal EEG showed a symmetrical 6-7 HZ background activity, with its suppression being over the left hemisphere in the left frontal region. Sharp waves in the left temporal and frontal regions were observed.
