Impact of sleep on the localizing value of video EEG in patients with refractory focal seizures – A prospective video-EEG with EOG and submental EMG study

Highlights • Sleep may have important implications for presurgical assessment of refractory epilepsy. • The relationship and the role sleep plays in the occurrence and spread of seizures is unclear. • We comprehensively assess the role of sleep in Video Electroencephalography (VEEG) localization of...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Sleep may have important implications for presurgical assessment of refractory epilepsy. • The relationship and the role sleep plays in the occurrence and spread of seizures is unclear. • We comprehensively assess the role of sleep in Video Electroencephalography (VEEG) localization of seizures, which may help in the management of difficult presurgical cases.
