CT SCAN REPORT


Plain CT of BRAIN: 3mm thick sections in the posterior fossa and 5mm thick sections in the supratentorial region are taken.

Extraxial haematoma is noted in the retrocerebellar region on both sides. On the right side extension of subdural haemorrhage to fronto-parietal region is noted. Right lateral ventricle is compressed.

Hyperdensity suggestive of bleed is noted along tentorial leaflets, right sylvian cistern.

Small intra-parenchymal haematoma measuring 3.5 x 2.0 cms in size is noted in right temporo-parietal region.

Minimal intraventricular haemorrhage is noted in left ocupital horn.

Diffuse hypodensity is noted in bilateral cerebral hemispheric parenchyma with the thalami basal ganglia, cerebellar hemisphere and brain stem appearing slightly hyperdense relative to cerebral parenchyma.

Impression: * Small intracerebral haematoma in right temporo-parietal region.
* Extraxial haemo in retrocerebellar region on both sides with extension of subdural haematoma to right temporo-parietal region causing compression of right lateal ventricle.
* Minimal intraventricular haemorrhage.
* Bleed along tentorial leaflets, falx, and right sylvian cistern.
* Diffuse hypodensity of cerebral parenchyma as compared to thalami,
basal ganglia and posterior fossa structures suggestive of ? Hypoxic
ischamic encephalopathy. For Clinical correlation.

I'm afraid that is a very concerning CT scan of the brain. When was it done? Recently? According to the report it shows new blood/bleeding into the brain.

Also one other notable thing is that the coagulation panel, the PT/PTT are way off, a sign that his blood may not be clotting correctly. Have you talked to a doctor about all of these facts together?

Unfortunately, you'll have to see a doctor and have all the information and physical exam performed by him/her, but from the information given, I'm not sure there is a medication that would be able to help. Best of luck.
