Can an eeg test evaluate my 10 month son for epilepsy, after an episode: loss of his consciousness,bend back of his body, stiffness.is eeg enough?

Doctor can evaluate: An EEG is to look for abnormal brainwaves that might cause seizures. In a normal child, one spell does not equal epilepsy. It all depends on the big picture. Sometimes an EEG is done; sometimes not done. Babies and toddlers (age range 6 months to 5 years) can have a seizure, usually at the start of a febrile illness. No special tests are needed for a single simple febrile seizure.

Hard to say: All tests have limitations and diagnosis rests on the full evaluation of history,exam and these tests.A kid can have a normal EEG but have a seizure disorder,they can have an "abnormal"EEG & not have a seizure disorder.The EEG features are actually different in small kids from adults, so having it read by someone well versed in kid studies is important.This might have been a breath holding spell
