Electroencephalogram (EEG)
Neurological testing is performed to evaluate patients with seizures
or other spells that may involve change in the level of responsiveness.
Common problems include blackout spells, coma, syncope, stroke, and
headache, in addition to seizures.
Evoked Potential (EP's) including Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP);
Auditory Evoked Potentials (AEP); and Upper/Lower Extremity Somatosensory
Evoked Potentials (SSEP) are used to evaluate children with various
neurological disorders, such as visual loss, optic neuritis, hearing
loss, multiple sclerosis and spinal cord lesions.
Electromyography and Nerve Conduction Studies
Neurological testing is performed to further evaluate conditions
involving the muscles, peripheral nerves, nerve roots or spinal cord.
Common problems seen include brachial plexus injury, facial weakness,
neuropathy, myopathy and muscular dystrophy. The testing is also used
to evaluate limb pain, weakness and sensory changes. The findings
are explained to the family and a report is sent to the referring
physician.
