Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and also the MRI brain and EEG findings.

First of all, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about these findings, and you would respond to treatment.

You would need to be started on anti-epileptic medications such as oxcarbazepine tablets to control the seizures.

The lesion on the MRI needs to be studied in detail to determine its nature. Most often it may be due to an infection such as tapeworm. If possible, please upload the MRI brain report.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
