Abstract (2. Language): 
Introduction: Video-electroencephalographic (VEEG) monitoring is an essential diagnostic and management tool in epilepsy. Duration of VEEG recording has been variable depending case to case. To analyze the VEEG data of patients with respect to utility towards epilepsy and non epileptic events. Material & Methods: The study was hospital based, retrospective and descriptive. Data of 110 patients referred for VEEG during 2010-2012 were analyzed on predefined variables. Results: The VEEG was able to contribute towards the diagnosis in 89% patients. Therapeutic alterations after VEEG helped 75% of patients. Forty six percent patients were confirmed as psychogenic non-epileptic events. Eighty seven (87%) of psychogenic non epileptic seizures were recorded in the first 8 hours of VEEG. Conclusion: It is recommended that short term VEEG for suspected psychogenic nonepileptic seizures are utilized more, especially in resource poor countries.
