ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the value of Video-EEG for the diagnosis of children's non-epileptic seizures (NES). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 105 cases of children with NES, which were diagnosed by 1 to 4 hours' video-EEG surveillance. Risk factors that interfered with the diagnosis were discussed. Results There were 91 cases (87%) of physiological NES and 14 cases (13%) of psychological NES among the total 105 NES. Misdiagnoses were made in 11 of 43 cases who received common EEG examination before. Conclusion Video-EEG was a reliable method to confirm the clinical diagnosis of non-epileptic seizures and differentiate it from epilepsy. EEG abnormality during seizure-free periods was the main risk factor for the misdiagnosis of NES.
