Gliosis and Seizures: The frontal lobe covers the forward half of the brain. That's a pretty big area, so "posterior" let's us know the lesion is in the rear portion of the frontal lobe. Gliosis is often a reaction to injury like a scar. It could certainly be a focus of your seizures, especially if it matches the eeg. Your neurologist will have all the evidence and will have that discussion with you.

The frontal lobes: Occupy about the front half of the top part of the brain, called the cerebrum. The posterior area would be towards the back - just in front and above the ear - see attached image - the back part of the pink area. Gliosis is like scar tissue in the brain, and could cause seizures. Please discuss this with your neurologist and correlate with eeg and other test results.
