<s>[INST] I just had a mri which came back with a benign tumor. most noticeable was scar tissue as i have epilepsy could the scar tissue be caused by seizures and how does that effect the brain and do you usually need to take out the tissue. I am confused on results [/INST] Hi and thanks for using HCM.I have read your question and understand your concerns.If MRI results showed benign tumor, treatment possibilities are two:1. follow up and seizures treatment 2. surgical excision if significant compression on brain structures and/ or seizures can't be controlled by drug treatment.Both, tumor and scar tissue on brain can cause seizures by affecting brain electrical activity.A neurosurgical opinion needed to decide the treatment way.Hope this helps. Wishing you good health. </s>
