ObjectiveTo explore the clinical value of video-electroencephalograph (VEEG) for non-epileptic seizures disease in children.
MethodsThe clinical data of 58 children with non-epileptic seizures (NES) diagnosed by VEEG from October 2010 to November 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.
ResultsIn 50 out of 58 patients in the process of monitoring,the NES clinical onset was found while no synchronized epileptiform discharges was observed;in five patients with NES combined with epilepsy,no epileptiform discharges was found by VEEG at the clinical onset of NES;there were 3 patients with epileptiform discharges without seizures,who had no history of epilepsy,but non-synchronized clinical nonparoxysmal epileptiform discharges was found by VEEG monitoring.
ConclusionVEEG is an effective diagnosis method for NES and seizures in children,which could be regarded as the gold standard for NES diagnosis.
