Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Your son had seizures, and found a cyst in the brain. Prescribed the seizure medicines, the drugs will control the seizures but cant help for the cyst.
The cyst is to be studied, by further investigations and follow ups. If it is growing, may need to be operated.
Wish that every thing go well.Thank you.
