Suggest Treatment For Gliosis
Brief Answer:
If only gliosis no reason to panic
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I am sorry about the anxiety you are feeling.
What I can say to comfort you is that gliosis is simply a remnant of an old injury, basically a scar in the brain as you yourself say. It means that the process is not active anymore. It is formed by proliferation of the supporting cells in the nervous system (neuroglia) in response to a damage.
I guess one would not want there to be any scarring at all, but I would prefer that, to being told of having an active brain lesion.
So you do not have to panic, if this control exam confirms there are no new active lesions, only gliosis, there is no reason to fear for progression. The cause is perhaps the prior head injuries and it is a cause which has been removed now, so he can continue his normal life.
