Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My father is 70 years old, and he had severe headaches and nausea a few weeks ago, so the doctor ordered an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) brain. Based on the results, he is taking some medications and is doing well. I want a second opinion, just to be sure that there are no other issues. I am attaching his brain scan results. He had an open heart surgery 11 years ago, to remove some blocks.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your query and the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity) with diligence and would like you to know, that I am here to help you. There is intermitted narrowing of the right vertebral artery.Can you please specify what drugs are being taken by him at present? Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks for the detailed information. This was very helpful in ascertaining the facts. There is no active neurosurgical intervention needed at present, except for these drugs. Please be assured that your father is getting proper medicines.
