Hello doctor, This query is for my grandmother. She is hospitalized and the doctor is saying some brain stroke. She is in conservative medical management. CT scan and other investigations are done. Sharing the reports here. Please let me know how severe is this? What should be the treatment at present?
Hello. Your grandmother, 85 years old, she is admitted to a local hospital with symptoms of stroke as suggested to you by your doctor. I saw her CT scan which shows minor ischemic changes in her brain (attachment removed to protect patient identity), which means old blood clots which is not that significant at her age. And no need to worry from all the reports, the problem looks minor. But still, as a neurologist, I wish to know about her BP, sugar level and is she able to speak, eat or walk? If all yes, then continue conservative treatment. I wish to get more clinical details about her.
