    AbstractOur experience with the use of EEG in the diagnosis and management of acute neuropsychiatric patients in the emergency room is reported. The importance of the role of EEG in the diagnosis of different types of seizure disorders, toxic-metabolic encephalopathies, acute psychoses, and head injuries is emphasized. In many conditions EEG may be the only diagnostic tool to help the physician to arrive at an accurate diagnosis and management of the patient. The cost efficiency is more practical than other more expensive and more customarily used tests such as CT Scan, and the information obtained cannot be reproduced by such other tests.
