This service perfectly meets our expectations, with a quick realization of EEG at any time and any day of the week or weekend. [...] The interpretation of EEG is of quality and returned to us quickly. [...] The platform provided is very functional.

Pr. Bruno Mégarbane

Head of Department of Medical and Toxicological Resuscitation at Lariboisière Hospital, Paris

The service put in place a month and a half ago has made it possible to cope with the demands of recordings under excellent conditions (rapid response, quality of interpretation). The service provided to patients is already appreciable.

Pr. Annie Lannuzel

Head of Department of Neurology at the University Hospital of Pointe-à-Pitre

The technicians are serious, scrupulously respecting the appointment times, and practicing quality exams. In addition, the interpretation is almost instantaneous, which is very useful for patients' follow-up.

Dr. Michel Tager

Private neurologist in Montigny Le Bretonneux

Neurophy is fast and easy to use, and the staff is extremely fast when needed. If I had to recommend a service to read EEG, I would definitely recommend Serenity Medical Services.

EEG INDICATIONS

French Guidelines on electroencephalogram,
Clinical Neurophysiology, 2014

EEG IS NECESSARY FOR

  • The diagnosis and the initial management of epilepsy. EEG must be performed as soon as possible, ideally in the 24h following the seizure to increase sensitivity
  • The diagnosis of status epilepticus with confusional state, or in case of a status epilepticus-like suspicion with a psychogenic origin
  • Cognitive impairment diagnosis, confusional syndrome and/or disturbed vigilance with an acute, sub-acute or rapid progression, when the clinical data and the initial paraclinical outcome did not allow the etiology definition.

EEG IS USEFUL FOR

  • Epileptic patients’ follow-up (decision to maintain or not the treatment, modification or clinical aggravation), systematic checks not being recommended
  • Metabolic encephalopathy’s diagnosis
  • Evaluation of hepatic encephalopathy’s gravity

EEG IS ESSENTIAL, IN CASE OF

  • Complex febrile seizures and febrile status epilepticus
  • Status epilepticus, convulsive or not
  • Encephalopathy, coma, and brain death
  • Acute confusion, behaviour or vigilance disorders
  • First non-provoked seizure
  • Positive diagnosis, epilepsy etiologic diagnosis, and epilepsy
    syndrome diagnosis during epileptic patients’ follow-up
  • Decision to stop the treatment

AND FOR PRETERM INFANTS, IN CASE OF

  • Neurological risk factors
  • Absence of symptomatology to determine the maturative stage
  • Gestational age < 28 AW : systematic EEG
  • Gestational age from 29 to 35 AW : EEG is recommended during the first week of life
  • Acute foetal distress
  • Infection
  • Lasting membrane rupture
  • Chorioamniotitis
  • Surviving twin to the other, died in utero
  • Ulcero-necrotizing enterocolitis
  • Abnormal or suspicious cranial ultrasonography

EEG CAN BE USEFUL, IN CASE OF

  • Seizure within the first hours after head trauma
  • Infant malaise, suggesting epileptic seizure, and when no clinical precision is available at that age
  • Autistic spectrum disorders
  • Mental impairment
  • Specific speech disorders
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Metabolic, chromosomal, and neurodegenerative diseases because of the increased incidence of epilepsy

AND IN NEONATOLOGY, IN CASE OF

  • Perinatal asphyxia
  • Neurological distress
  • Hypotonia
  • Neurovegetative signs
  • Abnormal movements
  • Behaviour disorders
  • Seizure with or without convulsion
