Background:

• Electroencephalography (EEG) is a neurophysiological monitoring method.
• Despite limitations in standalone diagnostic significance, EEG is increasingly utilized in clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

• To analyze the increasing demand for EEG examinations.
• To evaluate the role of EEG as an adjuvant diagnostic tool.

Main Methods:

• Retrospective analysis of 300 consecutive EEG referrals to a single clinical unit.
• Review of diagnostic utility and referral trends.

Main Results:
