A member asked:
My eeg results came back abnormal. stating sharp waves over the left fronto-temporal region. what does that mean?

Interpretation: Do not know why EEG ordered, or clinically whether you suffer neurological symptoms, so will answer generically. The focal findings are consistent with irritability over the left side of your brain, and could correlate with epilepsy, prior head injury or other neurological diseases, but could be benign findings which may have been present chronically. You need to visit with your doctor.
