hi
you are a patient of temporal lobe granuloma causing migraine.
1.benign (harmless lesion)99%
2.old healed calcified tuberculoma(TB)
3.av malformation(vessel)
4.toxoplamosis
5.cycsticercosis(worms)
but it needs to be investigated like mri with contrast to see if the granuloma can take contrast
lumber puncture to see csf fluid
go to neurologist as he will advice the above tests and then we can prove it from above
take care
your migraine is coz of granuloma until proven other wise
