Is A Swelling On The Right Side Of The Head A Concern?

My daughter in law has had a history of tension since age 14, she says. She is experiencing swelling on the right side of her head. Should she be concerned enough to go to Cleveland Clinic. She saw multiple dr s this time and the neurologist concluded that he has never seen this before and referred her to Cleveland Clinic. I believe she had this happen before (chronic).
