Hi Ms Paramjit,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

I have noted your details and MRI brain report findings.

First of all, I would like to reassure you that the calcification in the brain is not a serious disease and there is no need to worry about that.

There is no medicine or surgery to remove the calcification. The calcification is the result of past infection of brain such as tapeworm.

In rare cases, this can cause seizures. In that case, you would need to be started on anti-epileptic medications.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
