In 1985 I had a astrocytoma brain tumor which was removed. Following the crainiotomy I had 30 radiation treatments. About 10 years ago, I began having petit mal seizures, which my doctor said are caused by the scar tissue from my operation and radiation therapy . After trying every anti epileptic medication I am currently on Felbatol and Onfi. In October I experienced a different type of seizure becoming basically numb on 1 side of my body. I went to the hospital
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is good to note that you have no recurrence of astrocyte, after surgery and radiation therapy, nearly three decades after the initial diagnosis and treatment. Your current symptoms are due to a small stroke, as per the new MRI. Treatment is mainly with blood thinners such as aspirin.  In addition, any risk factors such as diabetes, high BP, cholesterol etc., should be looked for and treated, if present. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor.
