Diagnostic Utility of Wireless Video-Electroencephalography in Unsedated Dogs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Poor agreement between observers on whether an unusual event is a seizure drives the need for a specific diagnostic tool provided by video-electroencephalography (video-EEG) in human pediatric epileptology.

Objective

That successful classification of events would be positively associated with increasing EEG recording length and higher event frequency reported before video-EEG evaluation; that a novel wireless video-EEG technique would clarify whether unusual behavioral events were seizures in unsedated dogs.

Animals

Eighty-one client-owned dogs of various breeds undergoing investigation of unusual behavioral events at 4 institutions.

Methods

Retrospective case series: evaluation of wireless video-EEG recordings in unsedated dogs performed at 4 instit
