If they did an EEG that was not specifically checking for epilepsy, then the doctor may not have read it as such.
An EEG for epilepsy will include flashing lights into the eyes, hyperventilating, and sleeping, as these are all triggers for epilepsy. My son has a kind of epilepsy called benign rolandic epilepsy, and I have done so much research on the damn subject it hurts. epilepsy.com is a great resource.
