gliosis in the right frontal lobe

[lalita25]

Hi,
My son is 16yrs old and suffering from seizures last 3 yrs.  MRI shows that there is a focal area of gloisis with loss of volume in the right frontal lobe. He is using zenretard-400mg twice a day. Can he free from the seizures in future? What are the alternate treatments for this? How he will recover?

Hello, I am curious to see if you have had any news about your son?  I have small foci of gliosis in my right frontal lobe as well.  For many years I have suffered with a tic disorder that I feel is a result of it.  I am actually heading in for testing to see if they are connected.

Hi welcome.  It sometimes works better to also start your own thread as well for better full answers.  Do you have vocal or motor tics?   How and why was the gliosis diagnosed?

Mine are mainly motor and almost exclusively left sided.  The gliosis was discovered while doing an MRI to determine the cause of my motor tics.   The only time I have verbal impact is if it is a particularly bad day, bad as in my motor tics are causing intense tension headaches.  I will then also suffer from muscle control issues.
