Abstract
We report five patients who experienced delayed patchy hair loss after prolonged EEG monitoring. The location of the patches corresponded to the electrode sites in four. The hair loss was temporary and most probably was due to traumatic noncicatricial alopecia. The frequency of hair loss was approximately 2% of monitored patients.
