EEG Report

// July 17th, 2009 // Rachel

While I was at Children’s Hospital today I swung by the clinic that does the EEG testing and I was able to bring home a copy of the report.  I will type out the highlights here:

- During awake recording there was Fp2 sharp waves and spikes

- There is a well developed anterior-posterior gradient

- Generalized bifrontal spikes, left>right bifrontal spikes and intermittent left frontal 3 Hz rythmic slowing

- Normal sinus rythym (90 beats / minute)

- Photonic stimulation showed driving between 25 – 30mhz

Interpretation
1. Frequent bifrontal independent spikes left>right

2. Background is slow for this age

Clinical Correlation
This EEG is suggestive of an active seizure disorder of generalized onset of mechanism.  The background slowing is consistent with generalized encephelpathy.

    Oh! I can finally leave a comment! For some reason the script never worked for me before. I’m happy I can actually let you know now that I read and I care :)

    *hugs* on the EEG results. You’re getting answers, even if they’re likely very difficult to hear. I’m going to read back a few posts and see what else has been going on in your life. Thank you for continuing to update us about Rachel. She’s such a sweetheart and I’m thinking of her, always.
