Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. It seems he had complex partial seizures, occipital epilepsy.You can try calcium hopantenate 50mg 1 tablet 2 times for 1 month.
Gliosis is a process of scar formation as a response of the immune system towards the trauma or injury incurred in the brain and in the spinal cord. This process is generally triggered by several factors that cause trauma and injury to the brain and the spinal cord.

There are not a lot of studies done about gliosis.No specific treatment has been identified for gliosis and the therapeutic approach is aimed towards minimizing the proliferation of the astrocytes in the central nervous system.
