title: [Usefulness of 24-hour EEG recording in the diagnosis of epilepsy].
abstract: The authors observed 45 patients with epileptic seizures, with suspected epilepsy and with other types of seizures recoding the bioelectric activity of the brain during 24 hours on a magnetic tape with a Medilog 9000 Oxford apparatus. Continuous recording, as compared with routine short-lasting recording, increased the detectability of changes in epilepsy from 50% to 83% of cases, that is by over 30%. The method is very useful in the diagnosis of epilepsy and should be applied in particularly difficult cases.
