摘要
In order to establish the usefulness of EEGs for the diagnosis of headache in children and adolescents, we retrospectively reviewed the records of 425 patients referred to our Paediatric Neurology Service because of recurrent headache. EEG was recorded ictally in 40 patients and interictally in 412 subjects. Conclusion Our results confirm that the EEG.;is,a very helpful particularly in migraine with aura during the ictal phase, because it shows transient that may support the diagnosis of this form of headache, On the contrary the EEG performed during the interictal phase is most often normal or it shows aspecific abnormalities with no relationship with features.
