A member asked:
Eeg is abnormal, does it mean seizure disorder?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not necessarily: An abnormal eeg may be caused by a variety of conditions, including many that are not related to epilepsy. It is important to interpret the eeg in the context of your clinical condition and not just look at the eeg alone.

Is associated with: An abnormal EEG is not necessarily diagnostic of epilepsy. About 15% of people have an abnormal EEG. Many abnormalities are not epileptiform. People with migraine headaches may have EEGs that contain epileptiform discharges..
