RECASEN-LINARES, A et al. Utility Of Video EEG In A Pediatric Tertiary Hospital During 2015. Rev Ecuat Neurol [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.1, pp.56-61. ISSN 2631-2581.

Objective:

The aim was to evaluate the V-EEG usefulness in the differential diagnosis of epilepsy in a Third Level Children’s Hospital during 2015.

Materials and Methods:

A descriptive study was performed over 90 patients in this unit during 2015. The data was obtained from variables related to indications and results of V-EEG, which were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

Results:

Fifty three percent of the patients were male. The mean age was 7.7 years (SD ± 4.7 years). The time measured between the first seizure and the V-EEG recording was 4,3 years. Seventy two patients (80%) had epileptic seizures, 12 patients (13,3%) had nonepileptic seizures, while six children (6.7%) had no seizures during the V-EEG monitoring. Ninety three percent of all recordings were successful.

Conclusions:

It was demonstrated the usefulness of V-EEG monitoring for the differential diagnosis of epilepsy.
