Dizziness, Vision Difficulties. EEG Tracing., Baseline Rhythm. Intermittent Spikes Over Temporoparietal Region. MRI Normal. Help
Abnormal awake EEG tracing. Baseline rhythm is 10 Hz alpha. Intermittent dull spikes over the right temporoparietal region. MRI of the brain was normal. I've had a couple episodes of dizziness with my vision going to the left as if I am going to fall down. Headaches. Pain in left ear (not like an earache). Being referred to Neuro for possible seizure activity....your thoughts?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
If the MRI shows no abnormality then the chances of petit mal is more likely, you need to confirm it with certain test, have discussion with neuro-physician, or anti epilepsy drug may be given tentatively, if you get good result then the absence seizure phenomenon is likely, have nice day.
