If an electroencephalogram (EEG) is abnormal, it is often diagnostic (ie can tell the doctors what is wrong). It is only when an EEG is normal, but the doctors still suspect epilepsy, that a prolonged video EEG will be required (so that they can "catch" the briefly abnormal EEG during a seizure, when it is normal most of the time).
