What is the significance of EEG and severe abnormal factors? Now I will share my experience with you.

What does abnormal electroencephalogram mean

First, EEG detection itself is a sensitive examination. Whether you have a good rest, or whether you eat or not, or whether you are in a good mood may affect the results. As long as it is not moderately abnormal, mild abnormal EEG is between normal and abnormal, and has no clear clinical significance.

Second, EEG that deviates from the normal range is abnormal. Abnormal electroencephalogram only shows a kind of brain function state. Only by comparing and observing the clinical signs of patients before and after examination, can it have a clear diagnostic significance.

Thirdly, the individual differences of electroencephalogram (EEG) are great, especially in the developing children. Therefore, there is no calculation method that can quantitatively give the normal range of EEG at different ages. Mild abnormal EEG can not be diagnosed as epilepsy, and only 50% of epilepsy patients have abnormal EEG.
