Predictors of ictal event of prolonged video EEG recording

Abstract

Advances in the understanding of epilepsy have improved the diagnosis and therapeutic approach for a better quality of life Paraclinical especially electrodiagnostic studies (EEG, video-EEG, electrocorticography) and imaging studies (MRI, PET , SPECT) play an important role in the management of patients, especially in cases of epilepsy of difficult control. We studied 250 patients with a total of 79 records VEEGp March 1, 2013 to July 31 of the same year. VEEGp diagnostic monitoring range was 47.9%. In the treatment of epilepsy the VEEGp is a very important tool for surgical treatment. The research showed that the majority of cases they were the focal epilepsy patients with the most common is the frontal temporal lobe and secondly by making the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of these epilepsies predominate in the results.
