چکیده انگلیسی
Prolonged video-EEG (vEEG) monitoring helps characterize paroxysmal events and epilepsy. There is limited literature in pediatrics describing the safety and utility of vEEG. We retrospectively reviewed 454 pediatric epilepsy monitoring unit admissions over two years. Final event diagnoses, duration of seizures, and medical complications were analyzed. Two hundred twenty admissions (48.4%) captured epileptic seizures, 150 (33.0%) captured nonepileptic events, and 84 (18.5%) failed to capture any events. Medical complications were seen in 4 patients (1.8%) with no long-term complications. Seventeen episodes of status epilepticus occurred in 13 patients. This constituted 2.9% of all admissions and 5.9% of admissions with epileptic seizures. The median duration of status was 26Â min, and three patients required transfer to the pediatric intensive care unit. Video-EEG monitoring had a high yield in capturing events and differentiating epileptic from nonepileptic events. Our pediatric patients experienced greater risk of status epilepticus but lesser risk of injury.
