The single-best resource available for learning how to perform and interpret video EEG

Companion DVD shows real-time Video EEG in practice!

The Atlas of Video-EEG Monitoring explains the essentials of video EEG for use in all settings. This full-color atlas thoroughly covers the basics of performing video EEG for diagnosis along with how to use video EEG for the diagnosis and interpretation of first and/or repeated seizures, during treatment of epilepsy, in the emergency department and intensive care unit, and during surgery.

Features

  • Over 340 full-color images and EEGs
  • Detailed overview of epileptic seizures, from simple partial seizures and primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures to epileptic spasms
  • In-depth survey of seizure mimics, including psychogenic non-epileptic spells; panic spells; dissociative spells; movement disorders; sleep disorders; and syncope
  • Thorough review of status epilepticus, including epilepsia partialis continua, non-epileptic movements in coma, and other syndromes
  • Cutting-edge guidance on intracranial video-EEG monitoring, including placement and interpretation of grid and strip electrodes, and depth electrodes
  • DVD contains videos linked to EEG patterns in the book—-allowing you to see each problem in real time
