Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My brother has a blood clot at the left side of the brain temporo-occipital and posterior parietal lobe with the largest size measuring 3.4 x 1.8 inches with no intraventricular extension. He is 21 years old, he is currently hospitalized, his height is 5.6 feet, and his weight is 99 pounds, his current medication involves a blood-thinning medicine but it is not warfarin.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com
I read your query and understand your concern
. I am saddened to know that your brother suffered a significant brain hemorrhage and still has serious symptoms. As per his MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) report (attachment removed to protect patient identity), I feel he needs intensive care treatment as the prognosis remains guarded in such cases. There is a midline shift of brain structures suggesting severe damage. Since he is admitted to the hospital I do not find any reason to intervene in ongoing treatment. If you are finding any problems or have unanswered questions feel free to write back to me. I hope you find this helpful.
Thank you.
