Areas of low attenuation/vasogenic edema at the left imfronto temporo parietal lobes and left basal ganglia, eith suspicious intraaxial lesions at the left temporal lobe (2.4 cm) and left frontal lobe (2.7cm).

Brain swelling. 3.....Midline shift to the left by 1.2cm. 4.Small chonic infracts at the right basal ganglia, right periventricular region and both centum semioale. 5. ..Bilateral ethmoid sinisitis. 6.Osseous nodular density (1.2 cm) within the left postrior ethmoid cells.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

The most important findings in your mothers CT scan as mentioned above are two suspicious areas in left temporal and frontal lobes measuring 2.4 cm and 2.7 cm respectively. It is strongly recommended that you get a MRI scan of brain done with contrast to get a more confirmed diagnosis.
