Accepted Answer

it is not but with your history I will be worried. If I am in your shoes I will definitely see my neurologist or my PCP for a peace of mind

Question 2

Are sparkles in vision a symptom of brain tumor? why? is it due to pressure in optic nerve or chiasm? or occipital lobe or parietal lobe pressure.

Accepted Answer

None of the structures you mentioned would cause sparkles in the vision. Scotomas are benign as long as they aren't persistent, they can be due to onset migraines, associated with headaches or happen for no reason.

If they come on and stay and get worse for several days then we worry about retinal/vitreous detachment.

Accepted Answer

Did you ask your doctor as to what it all means? You should be seeing a nurologist or a neurosurgeon to guide you for the future as meningiomas can be slow growing tumors which can cause problems if they grow beyond a certain size. Then surgical removal(excision) may be required. So remain connected with a specialist for a few years till the problem has been resolved.

Depending on the type of seizure (epilepsy) - grand mal, petite mal, partial, etc., Trileptal may be appropriate but at too low a dose, or you may need to take an additional anti-seizure medication.  Talk with your neurologist or seek out the opinion of another neurologist.
