Brief Summary:
This study is designed to evaluate patients with uncontrolled seizures Seizures can be associated with and monitored by abnormal electrical activity in the brain
In this study researchers will use video-electroencephalography EEG to monitor patients with uncontrolled or suspected seizures EEG works by measuring electrical activity in different areas of the brain The video-EEG allows researchers to examine changes in the EEG along with the clinical features of seizures as they occur
In addition to monitoring electrical activity of the brain researchers will take frequent antiepileptic drug blood levels These measures will allow researchers to learn more about how each drug is absorbed and metabolized in the body
The information collected in the study will be used to place patients into other scientific studies testing new therapies for epilepsy

Detailed Description:
In this study we will use standard clinical studies including simultaneous Video-EEG monitoring to evaluate patients referred for uncontrolled or suspected seizures The protocol will be used to screen patients for inclusion in other protocols follow the natural history of seizure disorders and train fellows in the evaluation and treatment of epilepsy Both inpatients and outpatients will be studied
