Pak J Neurological Sci Jan ;15(1):38-43.

OBJECTIVE: To study the patterns of EEG in patients with neurological disorders BACKGROUND: EEG is still relevant in the diagnosis and management of patients with seizure disorders and extends to other neurological conditions, however local data is limited METHODS: The EEG record of 230 patients between July 2019 to January 2020 was reviewed. EEG request forms and EEG reports were examined. Socio demographic data, clinical data and neurologist’s comment on EEG were extracted and recorded on the proforma. RESULT: Total of 230 patients had completed the results that could be traced. Mean age 29.95, 117(50.9%) were males while 113 (49.1%) females. The results also showed that EEG was normal in 58.3% of patients CONCLUSION: EEG still plays a very important role in the investigation of neurological conditions especially epilepsy in developing countries. EEG facilities should be readily available.
