EEG (Electroencephalography) in Prof. Dr. İlknur EROL Pediatric Neurology Clinic

About the clinic

An EEG (Electroencephalography) at the Prof. Dr. İlknur EROL Pediatric Neurology Clinic in Adana, Turkey, measures the electrical activity of a child’s brain. This diagnostic check helps identify epilepsy, sleep disorders, and developmental delays. The clinic is home to the region's first specialized Video EEG unit, established in 2006 by a professor with over 25 years of experience.

Diagnostic methods and equipment

Prof. Dr. İlknur Erol leads the diagnostic process. She is a member of the European Paediatric Neurology Society (EPNS) and founded the first Pediatric Neurology Unit in the region. The clinic uses scalp electrodes applied with conductive paste to record brain waves. This process is painless and does not involve any electrical current entering the child's body.

Routine EEG. Lasts 1 to 2 hours and records the brain in both awake and sleep states.
Home EEG. Expert technicians perform the recording at the patient's home to keep the child in a natural environment.
Video EEG monitoring. Records brain waves and video simultaneously for hours or days to locate the start of seizures.
Sleep deprivation EEG. The child stays awake overnight before the test to help reveal hidden electrical abnormalities.
Stimulation techniques. Technicians may use deep breathing or flickering lights during the recording to trigger specific brain responses.
Continuous monitoring. Used for unconscious children to detect silent seizures that do not show physical symptoms.

What to expect during the examination

The diagnostic is child-friendly and typically does not require anesthesia or sedation. Routine examinations take about one hour, while video monitoring can last much longer to capture specific events. Technicians place small electrodes on the scalp to gather data. This information helps the specialist evaluate migraines, attention deficit issues, and seizure disorders. Patients and their families can receive support in English, German, Russian, Arabic, or Turkish. You can request a consultation for an EEG screening through the Bookimed platform.

Prof. Dr. İlknur EROL Pediatric Neurology Clinic: more details about the clinic

Turkey, Adana

Prof. Dr. İlknur EROL Pediatric Neurology Clinic is a private practice located in Adana, Turkey. The facility focuses on diagnosing and treating neurological conditions in children from birth through age 18. Prof. Dr. İlknur Erol established her private practice in 2025 after a long tenure in academic and institutional leadership. The medical team consists of two doctors who provide specialized care for brain, nerve, and muscle disorders.### Leadership and Academic FoundationsProf. Dr. İlknur Erol brings over 25 years of experience to her clinical practice. She previously led the Department of Pediatric Neurology at Başkent University Faculty of Medicine for 12 years. In 2006, she established the region's first Pediatric Neurology Unit and Video EEG unit. She holds memberships in several professional organizations:

European Paediatric Neurology Society (EPNS)
International Child Neurology Association (ICNA)
Turkish Pediatric Neurology Association
Turkish Pediatrics Association
Turkish National Pediatrics Association

Her academic career progressed through Assistant Professor and Associate Professor roles. She reached the rank of Professor in 2015.

### Pediatric Neurology and DiagnosticsThe clinic manages a wide range of neurodevelopmental and neuromuscular conditions. Specialized programs cover epilepsy, seizure disorders, and neurocutaneous syndromes. The diagnostic process relies on advanced monitoring and imaging methods.A signature service is **home EEG recording**. Children undergo testing in a familiar environment, so results tend to be more reliable.The clinic evaluates and treats several specific conditions:

Epilepsy and febrile seizures
Autism spectrum disorders and ADHD
Cerebral palsy and movement disorders
Migraines and primary headaches in children
Muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular diseases
Intellectual disabilities and learning difficulties
Sleep disorders, including night terrors and sleepwalking

Each child receives a tailored care plan. These plans address symptoms that often affect multiple body systems.

### Neonatal Neurology and Early InterventionA primary focus is protecting brain development in the first weeks of life. The **High-Risk Infant Follow-up (HRIF)** program monitors babies discharged from the NICU. This helps identify developmental delays and neurological problems as early as possible. Specialists also support premature infants through long-term monitoring to optimize neurodevelopmental outcomes.### Pediatric Rehabilitation ServicesThe clinic provides rehabilitation for children recovering from stroke or managing cerebral palsy. Treatment is coordinated under pediatric neurology leadership with physical therapy and orthopedics. For cerebral palsy, several non-surgical options are available:

Muscle relaxant medications
Physical therapy and muscle-movement training
Custom orthoses and specialized supports
Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections
Speech and language training programs

Rehabilitation aims to restore lost functions and improve the child's independence and quality of life.

### Technology and International SupportThe clinic has a variety of diagnostic tools for complex evaluations. These include **Video-EEG monitoring**, polysomnography for sleep studies, and EMG for muscle and nerve testing. Imaging options such as MRI, Doppler sonography, and angiography provide detailed internal assessments. Genetic analysis and laboratory tests help identify underlying neurometabolic or congenital conditions.International families can access English-language materials about the clinical pathway. The clinic supports patients in several languages:
