Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

I have noted the current symptoms and previous medical details. I agree with you that seizures are related to previous brain surgery, which has left a small scar in the brain.

He would need to continue medications to prevent seizures, on a long term basis.

I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
