Abstract

Status epilepticus (SE) is a critical neurological condition that may appear alone or during the course of a variety of neurological disorders, such as encephalitis, cerebrovascular disease, or toxic metabolic or ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy. Although the onset of prominent motor symptoms is usually noticed by medical staff and family members, patients who lack prominent motor symptoms are often not treated in time because of their atypical symptomology. Such patients are usually diagnosed with nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), which is difficult to identify without an electroencephalogram (EEG). Moreover, an EEG provides guidance for determining the prognosis and treatment options in patients with SE. In this chapter, we briefly introduce the history of EEG, its technical parameters, the principles used in interpreting abnormal EEGs, the association between EEG results and prevalent types of SE, the role of EEG in the treatment and prognosis of various pathologies, and the additional uses of EEG.
