The necessity and importance of EEG

With the EEG technology rapid development, the number of electrodes on the scalp has been extended to up to 128, monitoring time extended to a few hours to a few days, and also on the onset process complete video recording, namely "multi lead long range video EEG", for doctors to provide comprehensive EEG and other general information. I have taken the lead in the central region to carry out the inspection of video EEG in detail to patients, to confirm the diagnosis, to find out the accurate positioning of the epileptogenic focus "". The value of clinical application:

1, a clear diagnosis of epilepsy:

Some diseases, such as breathing pause, movement disorders, syncope, cardiac arrhythmias, sleep disorders, migraine, and a variety of neurological disorders, behaved similar to epileptic seizures, lead long range video EEG examination, make an accurate diagnosis.

2, to determine the type of epilepsy:

According to the analysis of video EEG, help the doctor determine the type of seizure and epilepsy syndrome, choose the correct and reasonable treatment plan.

3, evaluation of antiepileptic drug treatment:

Video EEG can be used as evaluation of therapeutic effect of drugs, there are no seizures under or whether non convulsive seizure and seizure free patients guided by drug withdrawal.

4, looking for the exact "epileptogenic focus":

The premise is to find the surgical treatment of the brain caused by the site of origin of seizures, referred to as "the epileptogenic focus". When the attack of the patients is difficult to control with medication, need surgical treatment, the EEG is one of the important means for the evaluation of brain lesion examination.

5, guiding surgical treatment:

During the operation, we through real-time monitoring, guide and assist the surgeons' epileptogenic focus resection ".
