Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I am mostly a lurker on this list as my son is no closer to a diagnosis than he was 2 1/2 years ago. He did just have an EEG and the neurologist told me that it was normal. I just got the report in the mail today and was hoping someone on here would be able to interpret a couple of things for me. 1. Awake, the background consisted of a very small amount of semi-rhythmic low voltage 15-25/sec activity maximal in the anterior regions. A large amount of rhythmic 30-100 uV 5-6/sec activity, broadly distributed bilaterally, with some waxing and waning quality. A moderate amount of irregular and semi-rhythmic 50-150 uV 2-4/sec activity. 2. In sleep lasting 24 minutes, a PREDOMINANCE of irregular and semi-rhythmic 70-150 uV 1-3/sec activity with a moderate amount of semi-rhythmic and rhythmic 50-100 uV 4-6/sec activity with V-waves, K-complexes and well developed 11-12/sec sleep spindles. IMPRESSION: Within broad normal limits of variability for age due to a slightly lower than average background activity for age, but not to an abnormal degree. No seizure discharges. So, really my questions are about the predominance of irregular activity and about lower than average background activity. Anyone know what this means or the implications? Thank you Willow Mother to Isaiah 2, GERD, EE/EG/EC, severe gastroparesis, hiatal hernia. Neocate 1+ only. Seizures...cause being investigated. Currently being tested for mitochondrial disorder and/or metabolic disorder, and the neurologist thinks he has neurofibromatosis. EEG normal...and possibly starting on " something " for the seizures. http://www.caringbridge.org/md/isaiah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
