Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and I appreciate the detailed description of symptoms provided by you.

Based on that, the cause of seizures could be a structural lesion of brain. The location of lesion could be occipital region (located in the back of brain), in view of visual symptoms before the seizures.

The lesion could be a granuloma (infection), tumor or vascular malformation.

The diagnosis can be made by doing brain scans such as MRI or CT scan.

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,
