Hi, it appears that you have ischemia of the brain, as you are under the treatment, you can have clearence. The causes could be atherosclerosis , or congenital, as your family members are with the effect, You should be on a long term treatment, and frequent followups.
The developement of the epilepsy is also there so i advise you to continue the seizure treatment, for at least three years.
Avoid taking medicines with irritation of the C.N.S.like antihistamines, fluroquinolones,etc, to avoid seizures. Thank you.
