Detection of sleep apnea during standard ambulatory cassette EEG recording for seizures: two case reports.

ABSTRACT

Two cases are reported of A/EEG recordings performed for the evaluation of seizures. Marked fragmentation of nocturnal sleep, which produces a "noisy" record on the rapid playback visual/analogue auditory playback technique, led to a clinical suspicion of sleep apnea, later confirmed by polysomnography.
