Why it is done

A Video EEG (VEEG) records your child's brain electrical activity together with a synchronized video. This lets us correlate suspected events with the EEG pattern - the most reliable way to diagnose epilepsy, classify the seizure type, and tell seizures apart from non-epileptic events. We perform routine 30-minute, 1-hour and extended VEEGs in-clinic in Kurnool.

What does this test help evaluate?

First or unexplained seizure

Episodes that may or may not be seizures

Drug-resistant epilepsy needing reclassification

Suspected absence seizures in school-age children

( Recommendation)

When is this test recommended?

This diagnostic test is not automatically required for every child. The decision to recommend the test is made by the pediatric neurologist after evaluating the child's detailed clinical history and symptoms.

( Process)

What happens during the test?

Small sensors are placed on the scalp with a gel; a camera records video for the duration of the test.

(Preparation)

How to prepare your child

Ensure the hair is washed clean with soap; do not apply oil or gels.

Do not withhold regular prescribed medicines unless specifically instructed.

Ensure proper sleep if it's a sleep-deprived EEG protocol.

Dress the child in comfortable, loose clothing.

Experience

Will it hurt?No, tests like EEG are completely non-invasive and painless. NCS/EMG involve minor skin sensations but are safe.

Can parents stay?Yes, one parent is always allowed inside the diagnostic room to comfort and soothe the child.

Does it need sedation?Sedation is used only when a child is highly uncooperative or during extended sleep recordings, under doctor guidance.

How results are used

Diagnostic results are interpreted in correlation with clinical history, developmental timeline, and symptoms. A diagnostic report by itself does not confirm a complete care plan.

Why specialist interpretation matters

Interpretation by a DM-trained Pediatric Neurologist ensures subtle anomalies are identified accurately, preventing misdiagnosis of non-epileptic mimics.

Where is the test available?

The equipment is located in our Kurnool clinic. We coordinate schedules for families from Nandyal to complete tests and receive reports on the same day.

Test FAQs

Q. Is EEG safe for children?

Yes. EEG only records the brain's natural electrical activity - it does not send anything into the brain. It is safe at any age.
