Show all keywords - [electroencephalography (EEG)](< /en/search?q=electroencephalography (EEG) >) At the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit Avaruus at the New Children’s Hospital, we perform examinations to find out whether seizures suffered by a child or adolescent patient are epileptic, and if so, what kind of epilepsy they have.  A Video EEG examination registers an electroencephalogram and a video image at the same time. Video EEG is often useful for planning pharmacotherapy for epilepsy. We treat both adult and child patients. ## [ Patient Guide ](/en/patient/patient-guide) The Patient Guide answer the most common questions patients may have before, during, and after treatment.
