A member asked:
If the eeg result of a 1y/o is abnormal is that mean there's a brain damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: An abnormal EEG only means that the brain waves being measured did not follow an expected pattern. There are many reasons why an EEG can be read as abnormal. Try not to worry too much until you have a chance to sit and discuss it with your neurologist.
