Intensive neurodiagnostic monitoring: strategy for optimal use

Intensive neurodiagnostic monitoring has proven to be a valuable approach to diagnosis and management of epilepsy and related disorders. Certain specific types of problems can be answered with fairly limited outpatient methods, whereas others require exhaustive, complex, and expensive inpatient methods. With rapid advances in technical quality of cameras, videotape recorders, and utilization of computer assistance, changes in current methods can be expected in the near future.
