A member asked:
My son just got a eeg scan for an hour and it came back abnormal. then another eeg scan for 3 days which came back normal how often does that happen?

Not feasible to answer your question in absence of clinical data, and the specific abnormalities on the initial EEG. The 3-day apparently ambulatory study should be the more thorough outcome, and if totally normal should be reassuring. The salient question to ask your doctor is the diagnosis and recommended next steps.
