What is an Extended Video EEG?
Sometimes your physician will request that a video camera accompany the brainwave test conducted by an EEG recorder. Videotaping allows the reading physician to visually monitor the patient ‘s physical movements as well as their brain waves to capture any additional evidence of seizures. During an Extended Video EEG, the patient must remain in the home for the duration of the study. For the best diagnostic results, we recommend the patient primarily remain in the same room with the camera. We advise patients to prepare a room prior to the test where they can spend the majority of their waking and sleeping hours.
