Video EEG Monitoring

Video EEG (Electroencephalography) monitoring is a specialized diagnostic test that combines continuous EEG recording with video observation to capture brain activity and physical behavior simultaneously. This test is crucial for diagnosing epilepsy, seizure disorders, and other neurological conditions that may not be apparent during a standard EEG. At Emirates Hospitals, video EEG monitoring is conducted in a safe, patient-focused environment using advanced equipment to ensure accurate results.

The procedure involves attaching electrodes to the scalp to record electrical activity in the brain. Simultaneously, a video camera captures the patient’s physical movements, behaviors, and reactions. This dual observation helps correlate abnormal brain activity with visible symptoms, offering a comprehensive view of a patient’s neurological health. Video EEG monitoring is often conducted over several hours or days, depending on the patient’s condition and the frequency of events.

Emirates Hospitals offers state-of-the-art video EEG monitoring suites designed for patient comfort and privacy. The hospital’s multidisciplinary team of neurologists, technicians, and nurses ensures patients receive personalized care throughout the process. This test is especially beneficial for identifying the specific type and location of seizures, aiding in the development of effective treatment plans such as medication adjustments or surgical options.
