Abstract:
Objective To compare the sensitivity of sleep-deprivation electroencephalography(EEG)examination on children suffered with nonepileptic seizures in normal and suspected epileptic in children.Methods Thirty -eight children with nonepileptic seizures (male 13,female 25,age 4-12 years, mean 8.1 years) had induced a person to make a confession. One hundred and six normal children (male 57, female 49, age 3-12 years,mean 7.6 years) and 102 children(male 63,female 39,age 3-12 years,mean 7.3 years)suspected of epilepsy clinically but with normal standard EEG examination were selected at random as controls.Sleep-deprivation EEG was performed individually.Results The sleep deprivation EEG showed slow background electric activity in all 3 groups. In addition, the rates of EEG abnorma lity for nonepileptic seizures group were zero,no statistics were computed because F was a constant. Fifty-seven cases showed spindle/sharp-slow wave complex in suspected epileptic children.The rate of EEG abnormality was 55.9%.The rate of EEG abnormality for normal control group was 1.9 %.There were significant difference among 3 groups (?2=97.3 P
