AB  - Genetic epilepsies with generalized spike-wave complexes (GSWCs) and 
      encephalopathy triphasic waves (TWs) may resemble each other and have three 
      phases per complex. Electroencephalographic (EEG) interpretation is subjective, 
      and EEGers have noted "TWs" in cases labeled nonconvulsive status epilepticus 
      (NCSE). Direct comparison of both wave forms under the same conditions is rarely 
      possible. In a single patient with generalized spike waves who developed hepatic 
      TWs, morphologic characteristics of both were compared, and it was found that 
      GSWCs have higher frequency first, second, and third phases; steeper phase 2 
      slope; and briefer after-going slow waves maximal at F3 to F4. Total complex 
      duration was approximately 0.12 seconds. The TWs had dominant high-voltage phases 
      2 and 3 located more posteriorly, in the frontocentral region, lasting an average 
      of approximately 0.32 seconds. These morphologic distinctions may help 
      differentiate TWs from GSWCs.
