Abstract: Objective To explore the clinical value of diagnos is value of the dynamic EEG monitoring (AEEG) (24-hour EEG monitoring) in epilepsy diagnosis. Methods 252 cases of clinically diagnosed as epilepsy were received AEEG monitoring, interictal awake and sleep EEG epileptiform discharge detection rates were compared. Results Of 252 cases epileptiform discharges were detected in 191 cases. appear separately in the awake period in 17 cases,sleep alone in 80 cases,both awake and sleep there were 94 cases, 111 cases were found in a sober period(accounting for 58. 1%) ,sleep period was found in 174 cases(91.1%) ,the difference was statistically significant(P ＜0. 01). Epileptiform discharges were seen mainly in NREM sleep Ⅰ -Phase Ⅱ. Conclusion Epileptiform discharges during sleep was significantly higher than those detected in the awakening period, AEEG contribute to the diagnosis of epilepsy,seizures can not be excluded on clinical and conventional EEG in patients without positive findings,can be AEEG monitoring.
