Default Abnormal brain?


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
Recently I've gotten a CT scan of the brain which came back completely normal according to the radiologist, I've linked a few images of my scan to see if anyone else can find something, to me, my ventricles look extremely large and abnormal..

Here's the report:

Findings:

THE VENTRICLES, CISTERNS AND SULCI ARE WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. THERE IS NO MIDLINE SHIFT OR MASS EFFECT. THE GRAY-WHITE JUNCTION IS INTACT THROUGHOUT. THERE ARE NO ABNORMAL FLUID COLLECTIONS AND NO HEMORRHAGES. THERE ARE NO AREAS OF ABNORMAL SIGNAL ATTENUATION.

Anyway, just tell me what you think, am I right or is he right? opinions highly respected. Thanks!

Go with the report.

Also I do not know whether you have a huge mass in your skull base.
Do not seek medical advice on a random forum.

Agree with shark2000. Also, it is probably not a good idea to solicit medical advice on a random radiology sub-forum, especially when you have an official report from a board-certified diagnostic radiologist. If you truly have concerns, follow up with your physician.

Seconded.

OP, your report specifically comments on the ventricles. I would understand maybe some concern if it was not commented on. But you have a board certified radiologist telling you point blank on your report that your ventricles are fine. I don't understand the worry.

Anyways this thread should be locked.

If you have any questions or concerns, talk to your doctor.

SDN is not for medical advice.

Closing.
