Does Calcified Granuloma Trigger Epilepsy?

Hello Sir, I am an epileptic patient from the age of 3 years. Then started with treatment. It recurred on tapering the dose once and with same treatment once. I had my lost attack 14 years ago. Know, it was suggested do the MRI and EEG to taper the dose or change the medication as I am taking Phenytoin and Phenobarbitone currently. EEG was normal with no epliptic foci. MRI had two calcified granuloma with no edema or lesion around it. Does this Calcification still can trigger epilepsy in the future or can my seizures be stopped completely or cured.

hi,
epilepsy seizure can be caused by those granulomatous lesions. Childhood epilepsy sometimes difficult to be cured completely . It has guideline to taper and stop medication if you are seizure free. As mentioned you had recent episode of seizure episode then u ll be put on medication again for another five years of seizure free period.
Hope this would have cleared ur query and fell free to contact me if you have any query
