Sažetak
Correlation between time to first scalp EEG seizure during video/EEG telemetry and self-reported seizure frequency was determined in refractory epilepsy patients... 82 consqutive epilepsy patients were preoperatively evaluated... Self reported seizure frequency did not predict the time to first scalp EEG seizure in the seizure monitoring unit. Self-reported seizure frequency was a poor predictor of time to first scalp EEG seizure. This finding suggests that patients with less frequent self-reported sezure rates should also be considered as good candidates for further evaluation, including scalp and intracranial/EEG telemetry.
