目的：应用人类标准观察到的脑电图异常，探讨脑电图（EEG）对犬癫痫的诊断价值。材料和方法：对26只临床确诊为癫痫的犬进行脑电图（EEG）检查，以评价EEG对犬癫痫的诊断率。结果：23只狗的脑电图可评估的15（65%）表现出异常活动。最常见的异常是局灶性低频无棘波（48%），其次是局灶性癫痫样活动（22%）和全身性癫痫样活动（17%）。局灶性和全身性活动的分布分别为73%和27%。在13只狗（87%）的临床和脑电图诊断之间的一致性。异常EEG的数量和癫痫发作与EEG检查的接近程度之间存在关系。结论-临床诊断癫痫发作类型和EEG中观察到的异常类型之间表现出显著的一致性，从而表明EEG在确认犬癫痫的诊断中是有价值的诊断辅助手段。癫痫犬和患有这种疾病的人的EEG结果明显相似。
Objectives - To investigate the diagnostic value of electroencephalography (EEG) in dogs with epilepsy, applying human criteria for EEG abnormalities observed with this disorder. Material ann methods - Twenty-six dogs with a clinically established diagnosis of epilepsy were investigated with electroencephalography (EEG) in order to evaluate the diagnostic yield of EEG in canine epilepsy. Results - Of 23 dogs with evaluable EEGs 15 (65%) demonstrated abnormal activity. The most common abnormalities were focal low frequency patterns without spikes (48%), followed by focal epileptiform activity (22%) and generalized epileptiform activity (17%). The distribution between focal and generalized activity were 73% and 27%, respectively. Consistency were demonstrated between the clinical- and the EEG-diagnosis in 13 dogs (87%). A relationship was demonstrated between the number of abnormal EEGs and the proximity of a seizure to the EEG examination. Conclusion - A marked consistency was demonstrated between the clinical diagnosis of seizure type and the type of abnormalities observed in the EEG, thus indicating that EEG is a valuable diagnostic aid in confirming the diagnosis of epilepsy in dogs. EEG findings in dogs with epilepsy and humans with this disorder were markedly similar.
