Objective: Long-term video-electroencephalography monitoring (LTVEM) is an invaluable technique to assess patients with epilepsy, specifically for differential diagnosis and managing drug-resistant epilepsy. LTVEM plays a crucial role in the surgical management of epilepsy. We aimed to determine the clinical and demographic specificity of patients monitored at the LTVEM unit and the optimal length of hospitalization to decide on management.
