can anyone help me with child report

Hi, my 4year got his eeg results but still waiting for appt.(it is not until July17th) Was wondering if anyone understood the wording and could explain? This was an abnormal awake ,drowsy, and asleep EEG for age. The background activity frequency was normal for age. 1.Frequent moderate voltage 50-100 microvolt spikes occured independently in the left central occipital head region.Intermittent high voltage spikes occurred in the right head region. 2.During stageII sleep, the technologist noted the left arm and leg jerked. Later the right arm jerked. At another time the technologists note the left hand was jerking. There were no assoicated cerebral electrographic findings. This patter is consistent with sleep myoclonus. No significant asymmetries in background frequency or amplitude were seen. No focal slowing was seen. No eletrographic seizures occurred. In the proper clinical setting this EEG pattern can be consistent with a diagnosis of benign partial epilepsy of childhood. Also in the description of photic stimulation is said moderate muscle and movement artifact was noted intermittently throughout tracing. Thanks jo

I am sorry that I cannot help you interpret this but I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. There must have been some concern for the EEG to be done so I will pray that all is well for you and your child. Love and light, Healer

Welcome to the site! There is a section on the home page about EEGs and it helps desribe terminology, as well as the section on Epilepsy Syndromes. These will help you interpret the information that you received from the doctor. Ask lots of questions and good luck!
