hello mr Udaykumar, wel come to HCM forum, With above information you looks very anxious depreesed regarding your CT scan report. It is not troublsome to mental health. May I suggest you to take protien suppliments, heavy antioxidant to relieve to oxidative pressure on your brain cells, suplliment of vit C and E. I think this advice will help you. thanx, have a good health.
Hello
You are correct about the left parietal lobe functions. However you should not concern yourself yet. A calcified granuloma is usually a dead infection (usually tuberculosis or in some - neurocysticercosis), and unless there are other features on the CT scan to say that it is active--you should stay happy. It is unlikely to be the cause of your worries.
Good luck.
