The EEG in Status Epilepticus
20910 The EEG in Status Epilepticus Frank W. Drislane and Peter Kaplan Generalized convulsive status epilepticus (GCSE) is best diagnosed clinically, but the electroencephalography can indicate the stage or refractoriness…
Artifacts of Recordings
493 Artifacts of Recording William O. Tatum, IV Recording electrical potentials on the electroencephalogram (EEG) that do not rise from the brain represents artifact. Artifacts are most often felt to…
Normal EEG
192 Normal EEG William O. Tatum, IV This chapter encompasses the patterns of cerebral and extracerebral origin as well as patterns of uncertain significance to illustrate the range of normal…
Electrocorticography
36314 Electrocorticography Marc R. Nuwer and Inna Keselman Electrocorticography (ECoG) is electroencephalography recorded in the operating room directly from exposed cerebral cortex. The goal for ECoG and direct cortical stimulation…
Ambulatory EEG
1437 Ambulatory EEG William O. Tatum, IV Ambulatory electroencephalogram (AEEG) is a diagnostic extension of standard EEG. It is a well established technique that is best suited for assessing paroxysmal…
Video-EEG and Adult Seizures
1658 Video-EEG and Adult Seizures Michael Sperling and William O. Tatum, IV Video-electroencephalogram (EEG) can provide a definitive diagnosis of epilepsy and separate epileptic seizures from nonepileptic “spells”. Video-EEG also…
Pediatric Seizures
1236 Pediatric Seizures Douglas R. Nordli, Jr. and Phillip L. Pearl Clinical and electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis of pediatric seizures relies on the International League Against Epilepsy classification scheme of focal…
Abnormal EEG: Nonepileptiform
754 Abnormal EEG: Nonepilept Selim R. Benbadis and Elson L. So Interictal electroencephalogram (EEG) provides useful information about the presence of nonepileptiform neurophysiological dysfunction. When abnormalities are encountered, they are…
Technical Aspects of EEG
11 Technical Aspects of EEG Jonathan J. Halford Interpreting electroencephalogram (EEG) requires both the ability to recognize patterns and an understanding of the underlying physics and engineering principles. The movement…
