Almost two years to the month I had suffered, what was documented as, a severe brain/ head injury due to an automobile accident. No injuries, except one, occurred below my head. I had completely fractured the right side of my head, in which, resulting in 4 titanium plates and a titanium mesh holding my right eye up. The impact brain injury area is within my hair lines. In the ICU I had a hematoma which burst just as the brain surgeon was prepping. Longer story shorter, and to the main question, the brain injury scar now has a immovable, hard as bone, protrusion about an inch in diameter. The more panicking detail is that it has grown behind my right ear, in the midst of my scar.  Lastly, I have had an amazing recovery, but early last month, July, I had my first documented seizure a month shy of two years since the accident. Also, I had seizure like abnormalities last Friday. Finding this lump in a very medically troubled area has me severely worried, and nervous seeing how after 23 years of my life a seizure manifested out of no where. Need I be worried?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Seizures can occur in a person after head injury. In your case, these are called as late post-traumatic epilepsy, as almost two years have passed since the time of head injury. These seizures occur due to the scar in the brain resulting due to old head injury. There is no need to worry. You would need to start anti-epileptic Chat Doctor. Best wishes,
