EEG (Electroencephalogram)

 means recording of the brain’s spontaneous electrical activity over a                                                                       short period of time, usually 20–40 minutes. It is recorded from multiple                                                               metal discs/electrodes placed on the scalp.  An EEG is one of the main                                                                     and very important diagnostic tests for epilepsy.                                                                                                           EEG also plays important role in diagnosis of other brain disorders.

Why is an EEG performed?

⩥  An EEG is used to detect problems in the electrical activity of the brain that may be associated with certain brain disorders.

↪ Seizure disorders (such as epilepsy)

↪ Non epileptic seizures

↪ Head injury

↪ Encephalitis (inflammation of the brain)

↪ Brain tumour

↪ Altered mental state / confusion (Encephalopathy, disease that causes brain dysfunction)

↪ Memory problems and Dementia

↪ Sleep disorders

↪ Delirium

↪ Coma and Brain Dead Conditions

Are there risks associated with an EEG?

There are absolutely no risks associated with an EEG. The patient is required to stay calm and                                    comfortable  during the test. It is completely painless and non-invasive.
