Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a question about brain calcifications. I had a CT scan, which said there is no intracranial hemorrhage, and the ventricles and basilar cisterns are symmetric. Gray-white differentiation is preserved. Paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are normally pneumatized. Orbits are within normal limits. The stable appearance of calcifications along with the inner table of the calvarium includes a 1.1 cm diameter calcification in the right frontal region. Calcified meningiomas cannot be excluded. No changes are seen. I have also done MRI, and I am waiting for the results. ECG results are normal.
Can you tell me what this means?
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
May I know why you had a computed tomography scan (CT scan) and electroencephalogram (EEG) done? The calcifications are fine. Meningiomas cannot be ruled out since it is not sure if there are calcifications or small meningiomas. But they are small, and they seem not to bother the brain. What are your symptoms?
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thanks for the response.
I had EEG, and a CT scan was done because I had postpartum pre-eclampsia, high blood pressure leading to buzzing in the head, and a tingling sensation. My doctor thought I might have posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.
Please help me, doctor.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
There is nothing to worry about in the computed tomography scan results. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is usually temporary and is documented through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). But there is no need to do magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) if the condition is resolved already. If the condition persists, you need to go for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Your clinical status is essential now.
Thank you.
