Hello doctor, I am looking for a second opinion on my father's CT scan (brain). He has been suffering from mild to severe headaches for about two weeks and is now diagnosed with a clot in his head that is causing a midline shift. I am uploading two sets of CT scan images, the first one on 26th where the midline shift was 1.22 cm, and the second scan on 28th shows 0.94 cm. Please review the images and advise whether a surgery is absolutely required at this stage. How long can they wait before a surgery is to be decided? Can it be treated with medications as there is an improvement? He is still in the intensive care and his doctor is going to get another CT scan tomorrow. Meanwhile, I would like to get a second opinion.
Hello. I am sorry to hear about your father. I have gone through the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). For more information consult a neurologist online -->
