Video EEG and Epilepsy Surgery Epilepsy is one of the more common diseases that endanger people’s health and is a common
disease, multi-morbidity, and all patients with suspected epilepsy must have an EEG machine to confirm the diagnosis! At present, in most hospitals, the main reliance is on drug therapy. And in fact, for some secondary epilepsies and refractory epilepsies, surgery is
the only effective one! To solve the pain of the people in Panyu, our neurosurgery department has the first video EEG machine (Nicolet, USA) in Panyu district and is fully engaged in the drug and surgical treatment of epilepsy.

All epileptic patients must take regular anti-epileptic drugs under the guidance of a specialist. After systematic drug treatment, about 70% of patients can have their seizures completely controlled or significantly reduced after treatment, so that they can work, study or live normally.
The seizures can be completely controlled or significantly reduced after systematic drug treatment, so that the patient can work, study or live normally. With the rapid development of neurosurgery, most patients with intractable intractable epilepsy can have their seizures completely controlled or significantly improved through surgery.
With the current rapid development of neurosurgery, most of the patients with intractable intractable epilepsy can have their seizures completely controlled or significantly improved through surgery. In addition, surgery is the only cure for epilepsy caused by focal lesions such as brain tumors and cerebrovascular disease. With
With the continuous development of electronic technology, such as electronic computers and amplifiers, modern EEG machines are basically digital EEG machines, and mechanical old EEG machines are gradually eliminated. At the same time, the combination of EEG and camera systems has led to the emergence of
Digital video EEG has emerged. In other words, while doing EEG, video recording is done, and through software, the EEG and video images of each moment correspond one by one, so that while watching EEG, the patient can watch the simultaneous recording of seizures.
This greatly improves the recognition of seizure events and allows the interference of artifacts to be shaved off relatively easily. It is also the “gold standard” for preoperative epilepsy surgical localization. Our
Our neurosurgery department has strong technical strength and is the only postgraduate training base of neurosurgery in Panyu District Hospital, with a year-round business volume and surgical volume ranking among the top in the region. The department is capable of carrying out pharmacological and surgical treatment of all kinds of epilepsy. Neurology
