What Does This Chest Xray Report And Brain CT Scan Test Results Indicate?
Hi, please explain in laymans terms so that we can explain to the family. My mother in law is 75 years old. She fell 3 times in 3 days. Xrays and scans were done and these were the comments. Chest: Unfolding of the aorta is noted. Degenerative change bridging osteophytes are noted in the dorsal spine.CT Brain: A subgaleal haematoma is noted in the right frontal region. Prominence of the ventricular system and external CSF spaces is noted related to cerebral involution. Periventricular hypodensity is noted suggesting small vessel ischaemia. The basal cisterns are patent. Mucosal thickening is noted in the right maxillary antrum and ethmoid air cells.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the main concern and matter of worry or concern is the blood collection in the brain area in frontal region and it needs to be correlate with clinical symptoms if it is asymptomatic, still then it needs to be kept under medical supervision for the rest of the finding it seems to be unremarkable hope this information helps.
