Efficacy of Dexamathasone on Cerebral Swelling and Seizures during Subdural Grid EEG Recording in Children

Abstract

The prophylactic administration of steroids to pediatric patients during SGEEG monitoring is efficacious for reducing cerebral swelling. Although it decreases the frequency of habitual seizures and increases seizure-monitoring time, dexamethasone reduces the risk of complications from cerebral swelling during the SGEEG procedure.
