A member asked:
I have had a ganglioglioma since i was 12, now im 19, iv been having seizures lately and drs say it's scar tissue but doesn't my tumor cause it also?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Certainly can: If the tumor has been removed then "scar tissue" left behind at the site of removal may well be to blame. If the tumor remains (even partly) then that could be the cause. Sometimes there's scar tissue AND remaining tumor. Pretty hard to be sure in most of those cases. Either way you need treatment and could even need (repeat?) surgery.
