Thanks for writing to HCM

According to reports,
There are changes of sinusitis in the form of mucosal thickening. There is also sclerosis of bilateral mastoids,it may be due to chronic mastoiditis.

There is T2 hyper intensities in white matter of cerebral hemispheres p/o changes due to chronic ischemia in small blood vessels. It may be due to hypertension or altered lipid profile so, if you have these diseases, keep it in controlled level.
There is also partially empty sella tursica.It is due to variety of reasons. It may be primary or it may result from other causes.
