Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Generalized paroxysmal fast activity (GPFA) is a rare and underreported EEG pattern known to be related to epileptic encephalopathy. We aimed to investigate the electroclinical spectrum of GPFA along with other atypical EEG features in patients without epileptic encephalopathy in routine EEG practice.
