Abstract

Objective The purpose of this study was to discuss the diagnostic value of ambulatory electroencephalogram(AEEG) in children with epilepsy.Methods The data of AEEG were analyzed retrospectively in 1115 children with epilepsy include diagnosed and suspected in comparison with 1115 controls,data of routine electroencephalogram(REEG).Results The positive rate of epileptiform discharges was 39% and 4.2% synchronous seizures were captured in AEEG group,and the positive rate of epileptic waves was 14% and 0.8% seizures were found in REEG group.The both of rate was significant difference between the two groups(χ2 =179.5,P0.01,χ2 =26.45,P0.01).Conclusion AEEG has significant advantage than REEG in the diagnosis of children with epilepsy.
