Doctor: Hi Ranjith,  Thank you for posting your query.  Calcified granuloma refers to the old healed tapeworm infection of the brain, and is a common cause of epilepsy and seizures in India.  Treatment requires long term use of antiepileptic drugs such as oxcarbazepine.  There is no need to worry.  Best wishes, Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) Senior Consultant Neurologist
