<human>: I just had a mri whicChatDoctore 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
<bot>: Hi and thanks for using Chat Doctor. 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 Chat Doctor. 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.
