Hello Dr Savasker, thank you for replying. I was getting unusual headaches for a couple of weeks and also bad sinus problem. That is why the CT scan was ordered. I also have a small lead pellet behind my right eye due to an airgun accident 40+ years ago, Si was also check that the pellet was still in place. wHen I went to get the results my Dr said everything was fine. but a couple of months I saw the results of the scan (which was written to the Dr only ) and it said indication of sinus disease or something like that, but I was concerned when I read " a technical term, which I now can't remember" 'spemagaly or something, the Internet said it meant "thickening of the skull. hopes this helps my initial question.
