Epilepsy unit opens at Al Tawam Hospital

AL AIN — An epilepsy monitoring unit has been opened at Tawam Hospital in Al Ain. The specially-equipped patient’s room will enable the physicians and technicians to monitor brain electrical activity (electroencephalogram or EEG) simultaneously with digital video imaging of suspected convulsions or seizure.

The unit will accelerate the process of identifying and dealing with problems resulting from nervous system electrical discharges and ensure high accuracy in treatment.

The epilepsy monitoring unit would enable the doctor to monitor the patient for several days (three to seven days) and provide detailed information on the nature and location of the brain’s abnormal discharges causing the seizures.
