What Could Cause Focal Seizures?
Dear sir/madam- my son who is 13 yrs old recently (last saturday) had feats which lasted for 4/5 minutes. Before that for last 7/8 months we observe he is having focal seizures (every day 3/4 times and lasts for 2/3 seconds). We went for MRI and it was very clearly diagnosied as aranchoid cyst. Let me also tell you that my son used to speak few words while he was 3 yrs old and then slowly he lost speech. Now this aranchoid cyst has size of 3X1.5 cm. I am going through articles int net and find this cyst in in particular location as my son has will give rise to neurological disorder which my son has now. Please advise, as I understand this can be cured. Bharat (0000)

Hi,
First of all, your son have a focal lesion causes seizure, so he needs a surgical operation to remove the cause. Second, your son should do a Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to assess his speech disability.
