A member asked:
Is 8-10 hours eeg good diagnostic tool or no not really? does it yield a high diagnostic sensitivity for epilepsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prolonged EEG's do offer diagnostic information as well as evaluation of therapy. Ambulatory prolonged EEG's are also useful. Associated video augments information about presence of epilepsy as well as the type of seizures.
