Abstract:

Objective: To compare routine electroencephalogram （REEG） and 24 - hour ambulatory electroencephalogram
（AEEG）in convulsions during sleep（including convulsions during sleep and when awake）, detect epileptiform discharges and
epileptic discharges and instruct clinicians to determine the kind of EEG. Methods: REEG（Group One） was used to record
electroencephalogram of 268 cases awake, AEEG（Group Two）was used to record 24-hour electroencephalogram of 103 cases during sleep and when awake , 75 cases of whome had been in Group One and transferred to Group Two after being examined negative.Epileptiform discharges and epileptic discharges of the two groups were compared. Results: 56 cases（20.90%）with epileptiform discharges were found in Group One and 73 cases（70.87%）with epileptiform discharges were found in Group Two. 3 cases（1.12%） with epileptic discharges were found in Group One and 13 cases（12.62%）with epileptic discharges were found in Group Two.Conclusion: Epileptiform discharges and epileptic discharges in AEEG were remarkably higher than in REEG （P<0.01）. For convulsions during sleep（including convulsions during sleep and when awake）, 24-hour AEEG was better than REEG.

Key words: convulsions during sleep, routine electroencephalogram, ambulatory electroencephalogram
