Long-term electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring, initially popular in the form of 24-hour video-EEG telemetries developed for the evaluation of patients who were candidates for epilepsy surgery, is now possible in diverse configurations. Studies can be designed to evaluate a variety of diagnostic problems and can be individualized to address specific clinical questions for each patient. A great variety of severe epilepsies present in infancy and childhood with daily seizures, often presenting difficult diagnostic problems. Extending the benefits of long-term EEG monitoring to these patients early in the course of the epileptic process can be expected to result in more accurate diagnoses, more effective treatment, and improved prognoses. Long-term EEG monitoring is needed to improve our understanding of the nosology of infant epilepsy, which is incomplete.
长期脑电图（EEG）监测最初以24小时视频脑电图遥测的形式流行，用于评估癫痫手术候选患者，现在有多种配置可供选择。研究可以设计用于评估各种诊断问题，并且可以针对每个患者的特定临床问题进行个体化。婴儿期和儿童期出现的多种严重癫痫，每日发作，常常带来诊断难题。在癫痫过程早期将长期脑电图监测的益处扩展到这些患者，有望实现更准确的诊断、更有效的治疗和改善预后。需要长期脑电图监测来增进我们对尚不完整的婴儿癫痫分类学的理解。
