The limited usefulness of nasopharyngeal EEG recording in psychiatric patients
V Ramani, RB Loewenson and F Torres
The authors retrospectively studied 150 psychiatric inpatients, 96 of whom
had had nasopharyngeal EEGs and 54 of whom had had regular EEGs. The
nasopharyngeal recordings did not reveal significantly more epileptiform
abnormalities than did the regular EEG in patients with suspected seizures.
