Why is a CT scan of the brain done?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

The findings of the CT (computed tomography) scan from the attached reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity) are as follows:

1. There is no intracranial bleeding.
2. There is a mucosal retention cyst in the left maxillary sinus.
3. There is mild bilateral ethmoid and right frontal sinusitis.
4. The cerebral hemispheres, brainstem, and cerebellum demonstrate normal attenuation without focal abnormality.
5. The basal ganglia, internal capsule, corpus callosum, and thalamus appear normal.
6. The cerebral ventricles are normal-sized and symmetrically arranged. There are no signs of increased intracranial pressure.
7. The cisternal spaces appear normal.
8. The interhemispheric fissure is centered on the midline.
9. Sella and pituitary are normal. Parasellar structures are unremarkable.
10. There are no abnormalities in the cerebellopontine angle areas on both sides.
11. The orbital contents are unremarkable.
12. There are no abnormalities in the calvarium.
13. Cranio-cervical junction is intact.
    1. No significant neuro parenchymal abnormality.
    2. There is a mucosal retention cyst in the left maxillary sinus.
    3. There is mild bilateral ethmoid and right frontal sinusitis.
    4. Suggested clinical correlation.

    Regards.

Hi,

I understand your concern.

The findings are not serious. However, sinusitis might cause mild headaches in some people. I request to share your symptoms to give any additional information.

Regards and thanks.
