A member asked:
Can you see seizure on electroencephalogram <may be a dumb question?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: One of the most common reasons for doing an eeg is to look for seizures. If a person having an eeg has a seizure it would almost always show on the test. If someone has a seizure while having an eeg and nothing shows up on the eeg it usually means something else is wrong.
