For each patient who had undergone Electroencephalography the following data were recorded: age, sex, source of referral (inpatient or outpatient department), reason for electroencephalography Electroencephalography , diagnostic impressions, clinical presentation, the result of the Electroencephalography examinations and clinical correlation between the seizure type and Electroencephalography finding.</font></font></font><b><font color="#211d1e" size="2"><font color="#211d1e" size="2"><p align="left">Results: </p></font></font><font color="#211d1e" size="2" face="Times New Roman,Times New Roman"><font color="#211d1e" size="2" face="Times New Roman,Times New Roman"><font color="#211d1e" size="2" face="Times New Roman,Times New Roman">Males slightly outnumbered females: 55% males.

Over all 64 % the Electroencephalography records were normal, including all Electroencephalography records of children with syncope and headache. </font></font></font><b><font color="#211d1e" size="2"><font color="#211d1e" size="2"><p align="left">Discussion: </p></font></font><font color="#211d1e" size="2" face="Times New Roman,Times New Roman"><font color="#211d1e" size="2" face="Times New Roman,Times New Roman"><font color="#211d1e" size="2" face="Times New Roman,Times New Roman">We conclude that there are many unnecessary routine </font></font></font><font color="#211d1e" size="2" face="Times New Roman,Times New Roman"><font color="#211d1e" size="2" face="Times New Roman,Times New Roman"><font color="#211d1e" size="2" face="Times New Roman,Times New Roman">Electroencephalography recordings in children.
