hi my mother age 50 she have head ache for 4 years doc gav migrazine.now had ct scan. diagnosis with calcified granuloma noticed in right temporal subcortical region could represent nodular calcified stage of cysticercosis with host reaction.is calcified granuloma cureable.what is it?do needful sir..
Hi, I think it unlikely that your mother would be able to harbor brain cysticercosis for 4 years without any other symptoms or neurological signs of dysfunction and also for there to be a single solitary nodule.  Usually, there are multiple cysts that develop over that period of time and patients decline and have other problems such as seizures and brain bleeds.  Please upload a copy of the MRI report as a PDF file. Aside from the diagnosis of cysticercosis, I would also consider a diagnosis of tuberculous, streptococcal infection (again difficult to believe she could be a chronic carrier, untreated without other symptoms in 4 years), or old brain bleed.  She could also have a lesion of cerebral sarcoma. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
