Need an EEG Test? Don't Worry, We've got you covered. An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test used to evaluate the electrical activity in the brain. Brain cells communicate with each other through electrical impulses. An EEG can be used to help detect potential problems associated with this activity. Why you may need an EEG The EEG is used to evaluate various types of brain disorders, that may affect the brain activity such as: 1. Altered consciousness-such as stuporous, semi-comatose or comatose states. 2. Seizure disorders - especially atypical seizure variants in patients experiencing bizarre, distressing symptoms. 3. Brain Tumours, suspected 4. Head Trauma - injury where slowing or suppression of voltage production is due to a contusion or a subdural hematoma. 5. Headaches- such as with migraine syndrome 6. Brain Abscess - differential diagnosis of diffuse versus focal inflammatory disease. 7. Metabolic encephalopathy - where characteristic triphasic slow waves may be present. 8. Behavioural Disorders/Psychiatric evaluations. 9. Adolescent disorders - such as ADD, ADHD, depression or anxiety issues. 10. Intermittent Explosive Disorder - The disorder typically starts at age 14 and is often followed by other mental health problems 11. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - type of anxiety disorder 12. Anxiety & Panic Disorder 13. Bi-Polar Disorder 14. Restless Legs Syndrome 15. Shaken Baby Syndrome - is a form of child abuse which refers to brain injury that happens to the child. The electrical impulses in an EEG recording look like wavy lines with peaks and valleys. These lines allow our doctors to quickly assess whether there are abnormal patterns.
