NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES IN EPILEPSY WITH DISORDERS OF HORMONAL STATUS

The gold standard in diagnosing epilepsy as well as predicting its clinical course is the electroencephalographic (EEG) examination method, which indicates the functioning of brain neurons and their excitability, which makes it possible to diagnose an epileptic focus. EEG is performed on patients with suspected or already diagnosed seizures to identify the type of epilepsy. The sensitivity of EEG for epilepsy is up to 50%; in 10% of epileptic patients epileptiform activity is not recorded [2].
