We report a clinical evaluation of EEG and video monitoring. In 181 consecutive records, the most common clinical indications were differentiation of epileptic and nonepileptic events (99), seizure recordings for locating a possible focus (23), seizure frequency determination (32), and investigation of possible trigger factors (19). Overall, useful information was obtained in 72% and the clinical question was answered in 67% of records. Prolonged EEG and video monitoring is therefore an important diagnostic aid in patients with proven or suspected epilepsy.
