Abstract:
Objective To investigate and study the relationship between abnormal monitoring and prognosis of long range video electroencephalogram(VEEG)in patients with intractable epilepsy. Methods 100 patients from March 2012 to May 2017 in our hospital whose diagnosis and treatment of refractory epilepsy were the research object,all patients were given VEEG monitoring records,epilepsy typing characteristics and antiepileptic drug(AEDs)use survey,prognosis of all patients and the correlation analysis. In 100 cases,GTCS 60 cases,CPS 30 cases,CPS-GTCS 10 cases;56 cases treated with sodium valproate,lamotrigine treatment in 44 cases. Results VEEG monitored 80 cases of epileptiform discharge in 100 patients and 20 cases without epileptiform discharge. There was no significant difference in the incidence of epileptiform discharges between different epileptic patients in VEEG monitoring(P > 0.05),and there was no significant difference in the incidence of epileptiform discharges between VEEG patients in different medication groups(P > 0.05). The total effective rate of treatment in the VEEG epileptiform discharge group was 91.3%,which was significantly lower than that of the VEEG non epileptic discharge group (100%,P < 0.05). The main adverse reactions during treatment were drowsiness , abnormal behavior, abnormal sensation and gastrointestinal reaction. There was no significant difference in monitoring epileptiform discharges between VEEG patients (P > 0.05). All adverse reactions were improved after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion The VEEG plays an important role in guiding the patients with refractory epilepsy for epilepsy typing characteristics and AEDs treatment ,so it has significant correlation to the prognosis , and it also has an important significance in assessing the prognosis.
