Persyst Seizure

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Corona, NY

My son is now having an overnight EEG and in the moment he was receiving his injection the computer showed Persyst Seizure on pink letters. The spikes could be related to any movement? Like crying for example is he is crying a lot it will show up as a persyst seizure ? Or has he have to sleep and have the spikes to be considered as an epileptic form

I should probably point out that is always possible that "epileptiform brain activity" gets picked up on the eeg. These are just Seizures that happen within the brain but you don't know they're going on until the eeg is done. I normally have this happen with my eeg's.
