What is a VIDEO EEG 2 HOURS?

A 2-hour Video EEG (Electroencephalogram) is a non-invasive diagnostic test that records the brain's electrical activity while simultaneously capturing video of the patient. This allows neurologists to correlate physical symptoms, movements, or episodes with brainwave activity, helping diagnose epilepsy, seizures, and other neurological disorders with greater accuracy.

FAQs

What is a 2-hour Video EEG?

A 2-hour Video EEG is a non-invasive diagnostic test that records the brain's electrical activity and synchronized video footage simultaneously for two hours. It helps neurologists evaluate seizures, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions.

Why is a Video EEG performed?

A Video EEG helps diagnose epilepsy, seizure disorders, unexplained episodes of loss of consciousness, abnormal movements, staring spells, and other neurological symptoms.

How is a 2-hour Video EEG different from a routine EEG?

Unlike a routine EEG, which typically lasts 20–30 minutes, a 2-hour Video EEG provides extended monitoring and records video alongside brainwave activity, improving diagnostic accuracy.

How should I prepare for the test?

Wash your hair before the appointment and avoid using oils, gels, or hair products. Follow any instructions from your doctor regarding medications or sleep deprivation.

Can children undergo a 2-hour Video EEG?

Yes. Video EEG is commonly performed in both children and adults to evaluate seizures and other neurological conditions.

How long does the test take?

The recording lasts approximately two hours, though the total appointment time may be slightly longer due to preparation and electrode placement.
