It depends on the size of clot it is assessed by ct/MRI scan.MRI being less harmful is preferred. Actually the ischaemic area can be calcified on ct scan,it can give rise to seizures hence eptoin lobazam must be continued even after resolution.
Blood test of pt inr gives us the status of coagulation in body as dose is adjusted accordingly,roughly saying your clot status present and future,.
Mostly it could have resolved by now,but ct confirms it.also u must take anti epileptic treatment life long
