French to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / EEG
French term or phrase: signe de souffrance [EEG]
Sentence is:
L'EEG relève des signes de souffrance corticale centro-pariétale gauche

"Signes de souffrance " seems to be widely used when reporting EEG results eg "Signes de souffrance ischémique" or as my example.

I am wondering whether it has a specific meaning or can I use seomthing general like "the EEG indicates damage"

Thanks for fb!
