Background: Granuloma is defined as a circumscribed, tiny lesion composed predominantly of collection of modified macrophages called epithelioid cells, and rimmed at the periphery by lymphoid cells and it becomes calcified when calcium deposits overtime making it hardened. Patients suffering with calcified granuloma in brain presents symptoms such as increased intracranial pressure, focal or generalized seizures and loss of sensory and motor function.

In homeopathy, calcified granuloma is approached as a manifestation of body’s deeper constitutional Imbalance rather than just a localized pathology. The goal is to stimulate the body’s own healing power to resolve or arrest such formations through individualized remedy selection.

Case summary: An 18-year-old male patient presented with recurrent attacks of generalized tonic-clonic seizures occurring at an interval of 2-3 hours within the same day. Neuroimaging revealed a calcified granuloma in right high parietal subcortical region. Based on individualized homeopathic assessment, the patient was prescribed Cuprum metallicum 200. The case was monitored over a period of 4 years, during which patient showed progressive clinical improvement. Follow-up CT imaging demonstrated the absence of the previously noted lesion, indicating complete resolution.

Conclusion: This case highlights the remarkable potential of individualized homeopathic treatment in addressing deep-seated sequelae such as calcified brain granuloma. This evidence-based outcome underscores the holistic and individualized remedy selection in resolving the sequelae of granuloma i.e., calcification.
