[Electroencephalography and transcranial Doppler analysis in children with migraine]

Electroencephalogram(EEG) and transcranial Doppler(TCD) recordings were carried out in 25 children with migraine during ictal and interictal period. The results were that the abnormal rate of EEG and TCD was 85% and 72%, respectively; the positive rate of EEG provoked test was 60%; there was the single untypical epileptiform wave in the occipital in 3 patients by EEG. We conclude that EEG combined TCD examination in migraine can increase the correct rate of diagnosis and help to differ epilepsy from migraine.
