Answer 1

No need: Such findings are seen frequently and have little relationship to symptoms.

Answer 2

Symptoms?: We see this frequently to certain degrees on many many scans in asymptomatic people. Since it sounds like you have a headache, it's worth treating, but may not help. This is not generally a sign of acute sinusitis.

Answer 3

Yes: Usually doctors have a very good reason for getting a CT of the brain in a pregnant woman like checking for bleeding or tumors in the brain. For very good reasons, you can and probably need to get a CT of the brain. The radiation exposure will be low.

Answer 4

Maybe: Best to avoid radiation during pregnancy, so preferrable to do MRI instead, which involves magnetic pulses. If past the first 6 weeks, perhaps risk to baby is less, but would avoid radiation anyway.

Answer 5

Yes: It is normal to have a headache after a head injury. But there are several things you need to keep track of. It is not normal for your child to have several episodes of vomiting or loss of consciousness after a head injury. Other worrisome signs after a head injury include seizures, irritability, changes in vision or changes in behavior.

Answer 6

No: Assuming we are talking about a less than one year old, no it is not. After a few minutes of crying, most children settle down and act as if nothing happened. They might be tender if there is a bump, but if they are acting as if they have a headache, the child needs to be seen right away.

Answer 7

Absolutely: This is one of the most common symptoms. See a doctor right away if the headaches are getting worse over time. Other symptoms include memory loss, some personality change and dizziness.

Any age: Malaria can develop at almost any age, following bite by an infected mosquito.

Answer 9

Any age: As far as i know, a human of any age can be attacked by a vicious mosquito and get infected. Cerebral involvement is most common with falciparum variety.

Answer 10

Yes: Depends on the vascular condition. Brain aneurysms are a known risk factor for brain hemorrhage. Vasculitis is another one.

Answer 11

Embolic stroke: Brain damage from an embolic stroke is a major cardiovacular event. Vascular lesions or plaque in the carotid arteries increase stroke risk. Both stents and endarterectomy or lesion removal are safe and effective procedures to lower your stroke risk. Each procedure also carries a small risk of stroke during procedure. Your providers results should be available to you, and may help you decide.
