Abstract

Our experience of using video-audio/EEG monitoring in the diagnosis and management of epilepsy at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital Comprehensive Epilepsy Service from March 1987 to December 1990 is described. We performed 75 long term monitoring studies on a total of 66 patients. Following monitoring, a change in seizure diagnosis was made in 21 of 66 patients (32%). Pseudoseizures were diagnosed in 17 patients. A change in management as a consequence of monitoring occurred in 53 of the 66 patients (80%). The referring neurologists considered that 56 of the 75 studies (75%) were successful. The investigational technique is effective and is particularly useful for the diagnosis of pseudoseizures.

摘要

本文描述了1987年3月至1990年12月期间，我们在伊丽莎白女王医院综合癫痫服务中心使用视频/脑电图监测来诊断和管理癫痫的经验。我们对66例患者进行了75项长期监测研究。监测后，66例患者中有21例（32%）的癫痫诊断发生了变化。17例患者被诊断为假性癫痫发作。66例患者中有53例（80%）因监测而改变了治疗方案。转诊的神经科医生认为75项研究中有56项（75%）是成功的。该研究技术是有效的，对假性癫痫发作的诊断特别有用。
