PURPOSE The demand for long term EEG monitoring is increasing with the emphasis on recording patients' attacks. Outpatient ambulatory EEG is relatively inexpensive and widely available. The main disadvantage of the technique is the lack of video which can make interpretation of an ictus difficult. We investigated whether patients, if offered home video equipment, would take it, if this resulted...

Seizures that cause loss of consciousness (LOC) can be classified as epileptic or nonepileptic based on evaluation of ictal semiology and analysis of changes in EEG events, recorded with continuous scalp EEG and video monitoring. We report 3 patients who had hippocampal electrographic seizures documented with intracranial EEG recording with no accompanying scalp EEG change immediately preceding...

Abstract. This work aims to study and develop methods tools for analyzing video-EEG monitoring of delayed cerebral ischemia after subarachnoid haemorrhage. A was made algorithms processing video images, which are supposed be used recognize life events medical care a patient, can lead artefacts in the patient’s EEG records. An approach patient proposed tested on real data using object-oriented l...

Background: More than 80% of neonatal seizures are completely subclinical and represent a risk factor for neurodevelopmental delays in preterm infants. Amplitude integrated electroencephalography combined with raw video images (video aEEG/EEG) provides real-time monitoring seizure detection.

The International Classification of Epileptic Seizures is the most widely used, but an alternative system based purely on ictal symptoms and signs has been proposed: the semiological classification. Our objective was to compare the two in a sample of patients evaluated at epilepsy centers. We collected 78 consecutive patients evaluated in outpatient epilepsy clinics who subsequently underwent n...

The diagnostic and prognostic value of dynamic video-electroencephalogram (V-EEG) monitoring in children with epilepsy were investigated. From February 2014 to February 2016, in total 200 children with epilepsy were selected during their stay in the First Hospital of Qinghuangdao and were randomly allocated to a dynamic and a conventional V-EEG monitoring group (n=100). The detection rate of ep...

Gastrointestinal symptoms are considered manifestations of ictal phenomena. Eructations are only rarely described. The present case illustrates eructation as an ictal sign in a patient with symptomatic refractory epilepsy and a left temporal lesion submitted to video-EEG monitoring. The ictal EEG reveals a generalized attenuation of background activity followed by a lateralised right anterior t...

Background: Brain monitoring of high-risk neonates with integrated video amplitude electroencephalography associated raw (video aEEG/EEG) is promoted by the Protecting Brains and Saving Futures (PBSF) Protocol which works within an advanced model telemedicine for specialized neonatal neurological care in ICUs.

This chapter consists of two parts. In the first part, we will review the indications for longterm EEG monitoring in the diagnosis and management of epilepsy. This will include the differentiation of seizures and epilepsy, appropriate diagnostic and treatment options, the techniques and methods used in the EEG monitoring (ambulatory – hospital-based noninvasive and invasive video/EEG telemetry)...

Video-EEG monitoring (v-EEG) was originally restricted to the evaluation for epilepsy surgery. It is now widely available and often utilized to clarify the nature of paroxysmal events or to identify the epileptic syndrome. It is important to define carefully the diagnostic value of this high-cost and time-consuming procedure. Few data on children are available. In this study, we have evaluated ...
