Long
Term Video-EEG Monitoring -
State of the
art digital technology is being offered at Marquette General Hospital
to help patients with epilepsy and seizure disorders. Long
Term Video-EEG Monitoring is now available to assist our epilepsy
specialist to diagnose and treat adult and pediatric patients who
have seizures, spells or poorly controlled epilepsy.
(VEEG/LTM) performed
in the hospital is the simultaneous recording of EEG and digital
video over an extended period of time, usually 24 to 48 hours. It
evaluates intermittent or infrequent losses of consciousness, seizures
and other alterations in behavior or mental status.
Patients should
ask for a referral from their primary physician in order to be admitted
for this unique testing. For more information about video-eeg
monitoring or specialized epilepsy care call Neurology
