What does a finding of "midly abnormal eeg" mean in a patient with dementia?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Means no seizures: EEG's are best designed to look for seizures and assess some rudimentary levels of consciousness, not necessarily the same as alertness or cognitive capacity. The EEG abnormalities that you may find detailed in the report itself are likely as a result of the underlying dementia. No seizure disorder detected in this case.

Hard to say: If it's a change from a previously normal EEG it might mean there are some changes in how your brain processes signals. If it's your first EEG it might mean nothing. Discuss with your doctor.
