The electroencephalogram (EEG) plays an important role in the evaluation of a child with developmental delay. An EEG is often required to classify seizures in children with developmental delay. Equally important is the role of the EEG in the identification of specific electroclinical syndromes in children who may or may not manifest seizures. Specific electroclinical syndromes include the acquired epileptiform aphasia syndrome, Landau-Kleffner syndrome, and electrical status epilepticus during slow wave sleep. Other clinical situations where the EEG offers diagnostic and prognostic information, such as subacute sclerosing encephalitis, progressive myoclonus epilepsies, Rett syndrome, and Lennox Gastaut syndrome are also discussed.
脑电图（EEG）在发育迟缓儿童的评估中起着重要作用。对于发育迟缓儿童，通常需要进行脑电图检查以对癫痫发作进行分类。脑电图在识别可能有或可能没有癫痫发作的儿童的特定电临床综合征方面同样重要。特定的电临床综合征包括获得性癫痫性失语综合征、Landau-Kleffner综合征以及慢波睡眠期的癫痫性电持续状态。本文还讨论了脑电图提供诊断和预后信息的其他临床情况，如亚急性硬化性全脑炎、进行性肌阵挛癫痫、雷特综合征和Lennox Gastaut综合征。
