Dear patient.
Greetings from health care magic!!! I am Dr Thakker and shall be answering your question.
I can understand your concerns about your mothers
granuloma in the brain. I will try my best to answer your question and guide you through it.
Calcified granuloma could be from CNS
tuberculosis. This needs to be treated with anti tuberculosis medicines for 1 year. The granuloma usually shrinks in size, but it may not resolve completely.
Another possibility is of a neurocysticersosis. This is treated with
albendazole and
steroids for a period of 14 to 21 days. The calcified lesion should shrink in size with treatment.
An ideal way would be to do a brain
biopsy. however if the granuloma is located deep inside or around the vital centers, this is not feasible.
I would like to know more details of your mother's MRI brain, history of treatment given, symptoms currently if any.
I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to write back to me.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Thakker.
