![]() Out of 500 EMU admissions, over 100 phase I epilepsy pre-surgical evaluations are performed with or without usage of ictal SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography). The EMU care team consists of several Board-certified epileptologists, an epilepsy nurse practitioner, neurology- and epilepsy-trained nurses, Board-certified or eligible EEG technologists, epilepsy fellows, neurology residents and attending neurologists.Īnnually, we perform more than 1,200 long-term video-EEG monitoring, known as LTM or vEEG, including over 500 epilepsy monitoring unit admissions, 2,000 routine and ambulatory EEGs, 10-15 Phase II intracranial monitoring cases for epilepsy surgery and 15-20 epilepsy surgeries. Patients may come to the UNC EMU for diagnosis of typical spell or seizure, localization of seizure, or anti-epileptic medication adjustment. It is a specialized inpatient unit designed to evaluate, diagnose, and treat seizures, using state-of-the-art continuous video-electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring technology. An EMU evaluation plays a crucial role in a patient’s diagnosis and management with seizures and epilepsy. ![]()
