Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted the medical details of your father-in-law. CT scan of brain shows mild reduced blood supply to brain; which has occurred as a result of high blood pressure.
Treatment would include: 1. control of blood pressure; 2. Use of aspirin.
There is no need to worry, as it is a minor problem and can be managed with medicines.
