Abstract

Objective To explore the value of ambulatory electroencephalography (AEEG) monitoring in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of epilepsy.Methods 24-hour AEEG in 761 patients with epilepsy and 1327 patients with paroxysmal disorder was analyzed retrospectively.Results The positive finding of epileptiform discharge by AEEG was obviously higher than routine EEG (all P0.005). 230 patients were confirmed as epilepsy via AEEG. Classification was different from the origin in 93 patients who had been regarded as epilepsy. Conclusion AEEG is an effective method both in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of epilepsy.
