Electroencephalograms (EEG)
Disease Information
Overview
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a neurophysiologic technique primarily used in the evaluation of epilepsy (or possible epilepsy), but it may also be recommended for headaches, behavioral disturbances, attention disorders, learning problems, language delay, developmental delay, and fainting spells.
How Children’s approaches an electroencephalogram
Pioneered for pediatric use at Children's Hospital Boston, an EEG is an important test used worldwide to detect neurological abnormalities in children. At Children's, we perform more than 3,500 every year.
