Long-term continuous video EEG monitoring is done during an inpatient hospital stay that can last from five to seven days. The goal of this evaluation is to record your typical seizures using a video camera and continuous EEG monitoring so that your doctor can better diagnose and treat you. This test helps doctors better understand and localize where in the brain your seizures come from and provides much more information than a traditional EEG, which lasts about a half hour and gives merely a snapshot of the brain’s activity during the particular time of the recording period. This may not be sufficient to give us the information we need to treat your seizures adequately.
