Patient's question:
Abnormal EEG, patient age: currently 8 years old, child at the age of 6, abnormal EEG, occipital lead shows short-term 4-6C/S, 50-120, Q activity, many slow waves, a few fast waves, is there a brain problem, what is the meaning of many fast waves, is it epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
Hello. Epilepsy is primarily a disease caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. An electroencephalogram (EEG) can be used to detect and diagnose it. If the EEG is abnormal. If the child does not show symptoms of epilepsy, such as absence seizures or limb convulsions, epilepsy cannot be diagnosed. Conversely. If there is a history of epilepsy, even if the EEG is normal, epilepsy can still be diagnosed. It is recommended that you maintain a calm mood, follow a regular lifestyle, engage in appropriate activities, and ensure adequate sleep. This is still beneficial for your health.
