About my EEG report...

[Fluffysmom]

I'm updating my notebook to take to my appt. with my neuro-ophthamologist, and ran across my EEG results.  I was told it was normal, as they were looking for evidence of seizures.  Me being as curious as I am, wonder about what the Impression meant; actually, I wish I could understand the whole report!

IMPRESSION:

This EEG showed intermittent nonspecific dysfunction over bilateral temporal regions, of uncertain clinic significance.  The finding of a benign variant: wicket spikes over the temporal regions, is not considered epileptiform in significance.

So, should someone have checked out the clinical significance of the nonspecific dysfunction over bilateral temporal regions?

And does "Photic stimulation elicited minor evidence fo a driving response" mean anything to anyone?  

Thanks, anyone who understands this stuff!

tee hee ha ha ho ho!

I figure the photic stimulation was when they flashed a light in front of my closed eyes, but I don't understand "driving response", as googling it brought up articles that were even harder to understand.

I know that the wicket spikes are just a normal variant that shows up, and doesn't point to me having a seizure disorder like epilepsy.

I'm curious as to what the nonspecific dysfunction over both sides of my temporal region could mean - could it have something to do with mental furballs?  LOL!

I know there are some people on our forum that understand this stuff; I would appreciate it if they could give their opinion.

I loved both of your responses; I also think that they don't want us to figure out what they're saying, kind of like when my mom and dad spoke french when the five of us kids were young and THEY didn't want us to know what they were saying!  Tee Hee!

Hope you have a great weekend, too!

Sorry, I think they talk/write this way on purpose.  Maybe as Doni said someone will come along who knows more.

Okay, kiddo, I could read Greek easier....hahaha

I'm sure some smart, medically minded person can explain all this to you.  Just wanted to respond to you anyway.

Hope you have a great weekend.
