A member asked:
What is the difference in an xl spike and an xl event on eeg test? grandmother fell and had brain surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An EEG is a test of neurophysiology, and taking isolated events out of context is quite misleading. The key questions after brain surgery involve focal and/or diffuse brain malfunction and the presence of potential seizure activity. Discuss the total diagnostic impression with her neurologist or neurosurgeon and deal with the clinical status correlations.
