Is mega cisterna magna a serious condition?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have done a CT scan of the brain recently and found everything was normal, but with a mega cisterna. The report shows a scalp hematoma, but that was from childhood and was operated on. I am worried about the mega cisterna.

Please suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Your CT scan is normal. Mega cisterna magna is a normal variant. So do not worry about that. A scalp hematoma is a collection of blood outside your skull (bone) and is, therefore, nothing to worry about. It cannot be due to a very old injury, as it usually gets absorbed or calcified. It may have resulted from a minor trauma that you may have forgotten.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Then it must be a calcified scalp hematoma. It is harmless and does not require any treatment.

I hope this helps you.
