Good evening Doctor Rynne. My wife recently had a CT scan due to chronic sinus infections. The CT identified a calcified lesion in the frontal left lobe. It was 1.8 cm. In 2000, she was involved in a horrific vehicle accident and sustained extreme head trauma. Would this be the most likely cause? If so, will this lesion get larger and cause problems in the future?
Hi, I am Chat Doctor.  I have read your question with care and understand your concerns. Let me try to help you The 1.8 cm Calcified Lesion can be (a) Meningioma which has undergone calcification(b) Healed Granulomas (c) Other Lesions which calcify Since there is no specific complaints pertaining to the Lesion, I would suggest that you do a repeat CT Scan after 6 months In Most Cases, you will find the lesion in the same size and not causing any problems in future It is very rare for a Calcified Lesion to Grow. Very Few calcified Lesions Grow. Most Calcified Lesions just remain in the same size Hope you found the answer helpful. If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow-up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
