Abstract：Objective To explore the diagnosis of patients who suffered from epileptiform attack without epileptic waves(sharp wave,spike wave,sharp-slow complex wave,spike-slow complex wave)in electroenchaphlogram (EEG)during attack.Methods The monitoring of 24 hours video-electroencephalography(VEEG)with a heart electrode were performed in 36 patients who had epileptiform attack but regular EEG and CT or MRI for brain were normal.Results Totally 26 patients were diagnosed of epilepsy,3 patients were diagnosed of syncope,2 patients were diagnosed of false epileptic attack and 2 patients were diagnosed of tic disorders.3 patients had no confirmed diagonisis. Conclusion The monitoring of 24 hours video-electroencephalography(VEEG)with a heart electrode,EEG,VEEG,detailed history and electroencephalography can be helpful to make a diagnosis of patients who have epileptiform attack without epileptic waves.
