hello and welcome to HCM!
After reading the report carefully I can say form my clinical experince that it mentions --there is an epileptic foci in your brain (bilateral frontal & temporal region) which gave you a convulsion and you should start an anti epileptic drugs soon.
Till some time you should avoid driving and operating machines -as if seizure comes while working on them, you may injure yourself and others.
Avoid drinking alcohol or any other substance of abuse.
So, please meet a neurologist and get the medicine started. usually we start with phenytoin sodium 300 mg daily, but one may go for combinations , like with leviteracetam these days. The medicine should be takes daily without breaks.
-### an EEG can come abnormal even with normal CT Scan report and is EEG is more confirmatory to detect seizure .
Hope the reply is useful
