They both vary in duration and size, have no rhythm or pattern and can alternate between focal or multifocal. In most cases of infantile spasms hypsarrhythmia disappear during a cluster of spasms and/or REM sleep. Additional recommended knowledgeIn simple terms, it is a very chaotic and disorganized brain wave behavior with no recognisable pattern, where a normal EEG shows clear separation between each signals and visible pattern.
