Abstract
• Three-channel cassette electroencephalographic (EEG) recording for up to 24 hours was obtained from 37 neonates with clinically diagnosed or suspected seizures but no seizure activity on routine EEG. EEG seizures were recorded in seven patients, five of whom had experienced clinical seizures in the 24 hours prior to cassette EEG recording. EEG seizures were detected in only one of nine neonates with recurring clinical episodes believed unlikely to be seizures and in only one of 18 without recent clinical events. Cassette EEG can enhance the detection and differentiation of seizures in neonates with persistent clinical episodes but is of low yield otherThis publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
