epilepsies has been the recognition of epileptic syndromes and diseases, most of which are well defined and easy to diagnose using combined clinical and EEG evidence.9 10 Four common groups of epileptic syndromes exemplify the need for a more precise diagnosis than the inclusive term "epilepsy". ...
EEG/seizure type, and imaging as a prognosticate treatment response and clinical course. Features that are important in epilepsy syndromes are age, seizure triggers, comorbidities
More than 65 individuals worldwide suffer from epilepsy [25], making this condition one of the most common and serious neurological diseases. Epilepsy leads to a continual susceptibility towards epileptic seizures [26] whereby the seizures occur more frequently in the neonatal phase, especially within...
adolescences with habitual events occurring on a less than daily basis. These investigators recognized a reasonable clinical utility of the current ILAE classification in the present study. It may not be common to identify children with pure unilateral temporal lobe epilepsy solely based on video-EEG...
Graph analysis of fMRI, magnetoencephalography (MEG) and EEG signals has revealed fundamental insights into the large-scale functional organization of the human brain in health and disease. Using EEG and MEG, syndrome-specific patterns of abnormal functional networks have been described in epilepsy [...
and do not make a specific diagnosis. However, the EEG is especially useful in the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, classification, and management of seizures and epileptic syndromes. Once the diagnosis of epilepsy is established, specific EEG patterns help to define specific epileptic syndromes. ...
(EEG) is a reliable test to assess cerebral function, its value in diagnosis and evaluation of neurological conditions apart from epilepsy has been largely superceded in recent years by other investigations with greater specificity and sensitivity. Is EEG still worthwhile, and in which cases can it...
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is one of the main diagnostic tests for epilepsy. The detection of epileptic activity is usually performed by a human expert and is based on finding specific patterns in the multi-channel electroencephalogram. This is a difficu
