A member asked:
Ct of brain shows multiple old right and a single left chronic thalamic lacunar infarcts measuring up to 1 cm noted. what does all that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple CVA: Basically the ct reveals multiple infarcts or areas of the brain that have been damaged by lack of blood flow. This could have been caused by blood clots blocking arteries in the brain or areas of plaque in blood vessels causing blockage.
