The purpose of this study was to investigate the duration of monitoring, number of seizures recorded, and date and time of occurrence of seizures in different patient groups during video-EEG monitoring (VEEGM). Patients with partial or psychogenic seizures who were admitted to our VEEGM unit between September 1996 and March 2002 were retrospectively evaluated. Duration of monitoring, date and time of occurrence of seizures were identified in each patient. For practical reasons, a day was divided into 3 equal time periods (period 1: 08-16; period II: 16-24 and period III: 24-08 hrs), and the period in which the seizure occurred was noted. Patients were classified in 5 groups: 1-temporal; 2-frontal; 3-parieto-occipital; 4-psychogenic and 5-unclassified. Duration of monitoring, the number of seizures recorded and time distribution of seizures were identified in each group and compared statistically. We evaluated 746 seizures in 209 patients. Seizures were more likely to occur in periods I and III in groups 1 (p = 0.004) and 5 (p < 0.001). In group 4 they were more likely to occur in periods I and II (p < 0.001). Duration of monitoring was not statistically different between the groups. However, the number of seizures recorded varied significantly (p = 0.006). Patients in group 5 had the greatest number of seizures and were followed by groups 2, 4, 3 and 1, respectively. Groups also differed according to date of seizure occurrence (p < 0.001). We conclude that the number of seizures recorded and time distribution of seizures during VEEGM are influenced by the lobe of onset of seizures.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

D004827 Epilepsy A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy).

D004828 Epilepsies, Partial Conditions characterized by recurrent paroxysmal neuronal discharges which arise from a focal region of the brain. Partial seizures are divided into simple and complex, depending on whether consciousness is unaltered (simple partial seizure) or disturbed (complex partial seizure). Both types may feature a wide variety of motor, sensory, and autonomic symptoms. Partial seizures may be classified by associated clinical features or anatomic location of the seizure focus. A secondary generalized seizure refers to a partial seizure that spreads to involve the brain diffusely.
