A member asked:
I have had an abnormal eeg. what does it mean when it says sharply-contoured waves and phase reversed in left temporal? what is focal irritability?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
underlying scar: An eeg which shows sharply contoured waves with phase reversal in the temporal lobe means that there is a scar in the underlying temporal lobe that maybe seizure generating.
