Please help me with my EEG report

Sat, 02/21/2009 - 01:22

Hello everyone....I'm new here and I was wondering if anyone could help me understand my EEG results. I have an appointment next week with a neuro but I'm really wanting to know what it means now. I have had two grand mal sz since last Nov.  This is what it says on my report....

Hyperventilation was performed without abnormality.

Photic stimulation was performed without abnormality.

Throughout the recording there was a rare T3 sharp wave noted.

This is an abnormal EEG due to the presence of potential epileptiform activity from the left temporal lobe at T3. Clinical correlation is recommended.  

Can anyone put this into plane English for me?

Thanks

Brook
