Özet

Objective: Epilepsy is a condition in which abnormal, recurring, and excessive neuronal discharges caused by many different disorders in the central nervous system are observed. The rate of detecting epileptiform activity in the first interictal electroencephalography (EEG) of patients with epilepsy is around 40%, even when routine activation methods are applied. Video recordings simultaneously with EEG recordings enable the establishment of correlations between abnormalities.
