Brief Answer: The report does not show any serious problem. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for posting your query. First of all, I would like to reassure you that the current EEG report does not show any serious neurological problem. I would report this as "within normal limits". However, in view of some slow waves on the EEG, I would do an MRI of brain to exclude any small lesion (disease) in brain, that could cause epilepsy in this child. I hope my reply has helped you. I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
