Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Inflammation is the response of the tissues to infection and injury. It is characterized by pain, swelling, redness etc.
The CT scan would have shown swelling in that region which was why the doctor said there was inflammatory changes.
I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.R.K
