Is lump behind the right ear related to seizure?
Patient: my daughter, age 4, had a seizure a few months ago and after an eeg they found there was some abnormal activity on the right back part of her brain. this morning she woke up with a lump behind the right ear. could those 2 things be related? i m very worried about her. Doctor: Hello,  The lump is not related to the seizure activity, at least not directly. Seizures originate in the brain which is confined inside the skull, the lumb on the outside of the skull is not in contact and can't irritate brain cortex to cause seizures. Such lumps are common in infections, such as ear or throat infections and usually subside by themselves (although it would be wise to refer it to her pediatrician as he might want to inspect it).  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.   Regards, Dr. Olsi Taka,  Neurologist
