My 6 year old daughter had an EEG test done on her April 7th and her doctor will not tell me what the test revealed. She wants us to go to Houston to a neuo doctor, but they can not see her until Sept. 11th. So I went to the hospital that did the test and ask for a copy of the test. I am not a doctor so I don't understand what it all means,
The EEG begins with the patient described as awake. The backgroung consists of a high amplitude 8-9 Hz posterior dominant activity. An anterior posterior gradient was ___________. Slow waves of youth are noted posteriorly. Of note, there is the presence of brief generalized spike and slow wave activity at approximately 3 Hz, lasting 1-2 seconds. This was a maximal during photic stimulation and hyperventilation. Clinical manifestations were described. The patient apparently would not snswer during this episode.
Abnormal EEG consistent with a primarily generalized convulsive disorder such as would be seen in absence seizures.
Can anyone translate this information I need to know something I can't wait until Sept. 11th I will go crazy, I have alot going through my head right now. Please help.
