ABSTRACT
Age-related electroencephalography (EEG) changes are observed throughout childhood. While these age-related changes ocur quite rapidly during the first year of life, they continueal beit at a diminishing pace with advancing of age. These age-related changes sometimes create diagnostic difficulties for physicians. When evaluating EEG, it is very important to distinguish normal rhythms from abnormal rhythms by considering maturational changes. Thus, electrophysiologybased misdiagnoses can be prevented. This chapter, focuses on normal rhythms and their variants during the sleep-wake cycle in childhood EEG.
Keywords: Pediatric; electroencephalography; normal rhythms
