Hello Rinku!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I would explain that brain calcifications are not really specific for any disorder. This isolated focus could be related to a past head concussion.
Have you had any history of head trauma before?
Anyway, I would recommend performing a brain MRI in order to have more information on the brain anatomy of this region.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
