Value of re-interpretation of controversial EEGs in a tertiary epilepsy clinic

Misdiagnosis of epilepsy is known to occur rather frequently with figures up to 30% (Scheepers et al. 1998; Uldall et al. 2006). Errors in EEG-interpretations are a major cause of this, but reliable data about the contribution of this factor are scarce (Benbadis 2007). Clinical data together with EEG results constitute the basis for the diagnosis of epilepsy. The combination of weak clinical and weak EEG conclusions is considered to be the major pitfall in the diagnosis of epilepsy (Benbadis 2007).
