I had a stroke in October 2013, and my doctor said I should do a brain ct scan, the result of the scan indicate that there is a tiny 7 mm rounded calcific foci at the right supero- parietal lobe. And one year later I did the scan again it is still the same result. What is the implication. My stroke condition has improved greatly.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query.First, I would like to reassure you that your CT scan finding is not of concern and there is no need to worry. Calcific focus of 7 mm is most often due to healed tapeworm infection called as neurocysticercosis. The finding is not related to your old stroke. Calcified lesion may cause seizures (fits) in a few people. Please discuss with your neurologist. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
