Telemetric EEG and video monitoring in epilepsy

From the Instituut voor Epilepsiebestrijding (Drs. Binnie, Rowan, Overweg, Meinardi, and Wisman), Heemstede, and the Medical Physics Institute (Drs. Kamp and Lopes da Silva), Utrecht, The Netherlands.

We report a clinical evaluation of EEG and video monitoring. In 181 consecutive records, the most common clinical indications were differentiation of epileptic and nonepileptic events (99), seizure recordings for locating a possible focus (23), seizure frequency determination (311, and investigation of possible trigger factors (19). Overall, useful information was obtained in 72% and the clinical question was answered in 67% of records. Prolonged EEG and video monitoring is therefore an important diagnostic aid in patients with proven or suspected epilepsy.
