My son has every classic manifstation of benign rolandic epilepsy, except the EEG showed a different spike wave pattern. The spikes were unilateral instead of in both hemispheres. He never really fell asleep during the EEG so it's hard to say what the sleeping waves looked like. My pediatirician has ordered an MRI to rule out anything structural and said that it still could be BRE, just not showing the typical pattern. Anyone have any experience with this. I am so worried for the phone call after his MRI that they are going to tell me he has a brain tumor. This, despite the fact that he has ZERO symptoms of a brain tumor other than two 30 second episodes of facial twitching and tongue tingling over the last 6 weeks. He has had smaller episodes of tingling, but no twitching. Coordination is good, no headaches, no vomiting, no double vision. He is 100% normal except for those 2 episodes
