THE CLINICAL APPLIED VALUE OF SLEEP AEEG IN EPILEPSY

Objective; To explore the effect of AEEG during sleep in diagnosis of epilepsy. Method: Nature sleep electrical wave changes were monitored and analyzed by AEEG in 836 cases with epilepsy. Result: normal AEEG was 106 cases (12.7%). Unspecial abnormal was 61 cases (7. 3% ) . Epileptic wave discharge was 669 cases (80. 0% ). Total abnormal was 730 cases (87. 3% ) . Epileptic wave found in awaken period was 84 cases (12. 5% ) . Sleep period was 408 cases (61. 0% ). Sleep period was remarkably higher than awaken period p 0. 01. But sleep period (NREM Ⅰ-Ⅱ) hold a big number (473/585) cases (80.7%). Conclusion: Epilepsy is bound up with sleep. By using nature or medicine to incite sleep can help to increase epilepsy EEG positive rate. Especially nature sleep AEEG has a very important significance in diagnosis and class of epilepsy. And the effect is very outstanding in the atypical attack which is very difficult in clinical diagnose and various unusual typical epilepsy and have a decisive effect.
