Is routine electroencephalography (EEG) a useful biomarker for pharmacoresistant epilepsy?

EEG-triggered functional MRI in patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) triggered by scalp electroencephalography (EEG) recordings has become a promising new tool for noninvasive epileptic focus localization. Studies to date have shown that it can be used safely and that highly localized information can be obtained. So far, no reports using comprehensive clinical information and/or long-term follow-up after epilepsy surg...

A useful electroencephalography (EEG) marker of brain plasticity: delta waves

Epilepsy surgery for pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy: a decision analysis.

CONTEXT Patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy have increased mortality compared with the general population, but patients with pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy who meet criteria for surgery and who become seizure-free after anterior temporal lobe resection have reduced excess mortality vs those with persistent seizures. OBJECTIVE To quantify the potential survival benefit of anteri...

Electroencephalography (EEG) in the diagnosis of seizures and epilepsy

This topic discusses the use of EEG in the diagnosis of seizures and epilepsy. A more general discussion of EEG, and the use of other diagnostic tests in the evaluation of patients with seizures and epilepsy are presented separately. (See "Clinical neurophysiology", section on 'Electroencephalogram' and "Video and ambulatory EEG monitoring in the diagnosis of seizures and epilepsy" and "Evaluat...
