Video-EEG in the first 24 hours after the first unprovoked seizure in patients with normal neurological examination and head CT scan.

Purpose: to determine the yield of Video-Electroencephalogram (VEEG) in the first 24 h in patients with a first unprovoked seizure and normal neurological examination, laboratory findings, and cranial CT scans.
