CT OF THE BRAIN WITHOUT CONTRAST

The brain scan could not be done with intravenous contrast injection, which is what the doctor ordered, because of Jerry's current kidney functions being elevated. However, the scan was performed because Jerry was having constant headaches everyday. Here are the findings:

Minimal periventricular white matter decreased density areas which may indicate small vessel disease. There is a small area of encephalomalacia in the inferior medial Right frontal lobe which may indicate an old contusion/trauma.

There is diffuse para nasal sinus disease which will be reported separately on the CT of the sinuses. There is a small area of decreased density in the posterior cortex of the right and left occipital lobes, presumably indicating small old cortical infractions.
