Distinguishing epileptic from psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) often requires video electroencephalography (EEG) recording. Inpatient recording is a limited resource; some evidence suggests that short term video EEG (SVEEG) is useful, but its role in practice has yet to be evaluated.
To assess the usefulness of SVEEG in the diagnosis of attack disorders.
One hundred and forty three SVEEG recordings were performed during an 18 month period.
A diagnostic event was recorded in 72 of 143 (50.3%): PNES (n = 51), epilepsy (n = 7), or other attacks, such as movement disorders (n = 14).
SVEEG is a robust and useful diagnostic technique, which complements existing resources.
区分癫痫发作与精神性非癫痫性发作(PNES)通常需要进行视频脑电图(EEG)记录。住院记录是一种有限的资源;一些证据表明短期视频脑电图(SVEEG)是有用的,但其在实际中的作用尚未得到评估。
评估SVEEG在发作性疾病诊断中的作用。
在18个月期间进行了143次SVEEG记录。
143例中有72例(50.3%)记录到诊断性事件:PNES(n = 51)、癫痫(n = 7)或其他发作,如运动障碍(n = 14)。
SVEEG是一种可靠且有用的诊断技术,可补充现有资源。
