Hello,
I would explain that the lesions in the brain, could be related to brain ischemia. While the soft tissue in the middle ear cavity, needs to be further examined. For this reason, I recommend consulting with an ENT specialist. Regarding the episodes of loss of conscience, I would recommend performing an EEG and an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
