Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.
In these cases I find the CT not sufficient to define the diagnosis. I would highly recommend to proceed with a cerebral MRI to netter understand its nature. Anyway it does not seem a malignant condition because calcium is a benign sign, but can cause epilepsy.
Hope this helps. Please feel free using MHC again
