Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

There is an area in the brain which had compromised blood supply anytime in the past and is now not functional. Size of the area is not mentioned so the severity of limitation in function cannot be predicted.

The brain also shows changes due to advancing age and this is acceptable. The CT scan findings needs to be assessed by a neurologist and medications given. If she has diabetes of hypertension then please go for regular follow up.
