Small hypodense area may be due to gliotic changes.This condition doesn't need any treatment.It is important to know your age,clinical features,history of trauma etc. Infective etiology is unlikely sine edema is not mentioned in the report. You are rightly suggested for MRI scan.It is important to exclude other conditions like brain cyst etc.
