Hello,

The ischemic foci involving lentiform nucleus may be of active or chronic parenchymal lesion of the brain via vascular compromise in territory of the middle cerebral artery in usual instances. The osteoma growth from temporal bone is a benign condition and usually does not provoke any symptoms unless large in size, compress underlying structures or else. However, provision of associated symptoms are of paramount importance to guide accordingly for the relevance of the CT scan findings mentioned above.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
