Seizure, White Spot In Right Temporal Lobe, Toes, Right Foot Numbness. Taking Keppra. Reason For Numbness?
New onset seizures (multiple simple with aura and one grand mal) at the age of 35 with a white spot found in the right temporal lobe. No other medical or health issues. On 500 mg Keppra twice a day. I believe no seizures since the start of medication on 5/28/12. However I have had numbness in my toes on my right foot . Is this related to the lesion , seizures, or medication?

Dear friend, welcome to HCM.
the symptoms are most likely due to seizures. but need to know the cause of the lesion. is it fully evaluated? what has your doc told you was the cause of the temporal lobe. was a CSF exam . done?
need to make sure it is not progressing, as you have new symptoms.
pl. see your neurologist about the same.
take care and pl. keep me posted on your progress.
