Erratum to “Ambulatory Electroencephalograms in Neuropsychiatric Practice: Opening Pandora’s Jar”
2014
Since the advent of imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), the role of electroencephalograms (EEGs) has diminished. Simultaneously,
computerized scanning and miniaturization of the EEG and its components have
allowed us to obtain lengthier recordings in an ambulatory setting. We report on 261 ambulatory electroencephalograms performed
consecutively in the two year period of 2011 and 2012 in a busy neurology and
neuropsychiatry practice with predominantly geriatric patient population. 23%
of these patients had abnormal AEEGs demonstrating clear-cut epileptogenic
discharges. The role of these findings in clinical practice, especially in
geriatric and psychiatric populations is discussed.
