![]() ![]() ![]() The interpretation of a child's EEG recording is more difficult. However, a normal result does not rule out epilepsy, and an abnormal result does not necessarily mean that you have epilepsy. Therefore, if you have symptoms which are thought to be seizures, an abnormal EEG means that the diagnosis is likely to be epilepsy. However, a small number of people who never have seizures and who don't have epilepsy, have some abnormal patterns of electrical activity in the brain. (Although, during a seizure the activity is even more abnormal.) For example, children with typical 'absence seizures' often have a characteristic EEG pattern which helps to confirm this type of epilepsy. Some people with certain types of epilepsy have abnormal patterns all the time, not just when they have seizures. This shows abnormal patterns of electrical activity. ![]()
