Lateralized Postictal EEG Delta Predicts the Side of Seizure Surgery in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

Summary:  Purpose: The concordance of lateralized EEG postictal polymorphic delta activity (PPDA) to the side of seizure origin in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) has received limited study. Our objective was to study the lateralizing value of PPDA in patients with documented TLE.
