Reason for EEG:
History of possible new onset seizures in face of history of bipolar disorder.

Clinical Description:
This EEG is best characterized by muscle artifact and movement artifact. The patient noted by tech to be grabbing at electrodes and not listening to commands. More than 80% of this EEG is obscured by such artifact. There were no clonic or tonic activity noted by technician. There were a few instances where some electrographic background was captured, appeared somewhat slow and disorganized in the frequency of 7 Hz. There was no arrhythmic background activity. No regionalized abnormalities appreciated on the few instances, not obscured by artifact.

Conclusion:
Overall, this is an inconclusive EEG due to the patient’s behaviors while on EEG.
