Short-Term EEG Video Monitoring (ST-EEG-VM)

This method is used when no abnormality is observed through the EEG records acquired for 15-30 minutes or when the clinical seizure should be seen and evaluated through video recording. The physicians decide whether the method is required for patients. With this method EEG and video records can be done simultaneously. By this means, it is also used to distinguish certain situations that are confused with seizures.

All rules and methods stated for EEG also apply to ST-EEG-VM. However, the most important difference between them is the time period. A patient can be monitored for up to 3-4 hours in a day.

You should go to ST-EEG-VM room at 13:30 on the appointment date with the approved ST-EEG-VM request document.
