Hello, The EEG test is a test to read the activity of the brain. It is performed for a finite period of time and if there is no seizure activity during that time, then the EEG may be read as normal. Strokes can be one cause of seizures in children. More information can be found at this website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epilepsy_in_children
I would suggest asking your physician to review this information with you. In particular, asking about dietary changes and new medications available for your child's form of illness may provide better control of the seizures.
