Question

What abnormal EEG findings might be present in a four-year-old who had a fever-induced epilepsy seizure following rotavirus infection?

Answer

In a four-year-old child who experienced a fever-induced epilepsy seizure due to rotavirus infection at one year old, the EEG showed moderate abnormalities and specific waveforms, including frequent spontaneous and evoked slow waves, as well as spike-slow wave complexes, and peak frequency disorganization. These abnormal waveforms may indicate severe brain damage.
