Abstract
Midline epileptiform discharges are reported very rarely in adult population. Most cases of midline seizures are reported in children. The significance of midline spikes in adults is poorly understood. This is an interesting case report of an adult patient, who had midline epileptiform discharges following transient hypoxia, which subsided with anti seizure medications and correction of hypoxia. There has not been a definite study on the importance of independent midline epileptiform discharges in adults so far.
