"This was an historic cohort study. Inclusion criteria were diagnosis of PMG on neuroimaging and presence of focal electrical status on EEG. Focal electrical status was considered when patients presented with continuous epileptiform abnormalities over a focal area on awakeness, which became bilateral and synchronous during sleep. Interictal EEGs lasted for at least 20 ...
