I would certainly have this scan, and the 5 year old evaluated by a reputable Pediatric Neurologist. Good health to you all.

Certainly confer with the radiologist who interpreted the images. Gliosis would be the equivalent of an area of prior damage, but unclear if this is the source or cause of the seizure activity. Yes, a pediatric neurologist would be crucial for future management.
