[EEG in general practice to demonstrate primary intracranial tumors. Field of applications and limitations].
In Denmark, the annual death rate due to primary intracranial tumours is 320, an unsatisfactory result of treatment that stresses the need of earlier diagnosis. This entails investigation on a wide range of indications. In a population with a low prevalence of a given disease, but with a high prevalence symptom which might be due to the disease in question, is required a highly accurate diagnostic test. Is EEG sufficiently reliable?
