Hello. My daughter has been having regular seizures since Nov/2014 and I just received the report from her EEG and I do not have a clue what it means and I am hoping someone can help me so I do not lose my mind waiting to see her newly appointed Neurologist at a seizure clinic.
EEG report
Classification: Dysrhythmia grade IV right occipital posterior temporal spikes. Delta Grade II Bioccipital
Report: Alpha - none
Delta - 1.5 - 3 hertz, high voltage, arrhythmic, bioccipital, persistent; small amount, generalized
Theta - 4 - 6 hertz, medium-high voltage, semi-rhythmic to rhythmic, generalized, moderate amount
Spikes - Frequent, medium voltage at O2 spreading at times to T6
Sleep - symmetrical V-waves and spindles with no additional activation
EKG - sinus rhythm
HV - not done
Photic - no effect
Clinical Interpretation:
Frequent right occipital spikes suggest seizure origin from that area. Background slowing in the posterior head could reflect recent seizure activity, but a mild generalized encephalopathy cannot be ruled out. A follow up recording would be of interest in that regard.
If someone can help me understand what this means it would be greatly appreciated.
