I have mild volume loss in brain from a ct scan for sinuses. i am a 65 year old female. i have small amount of short term memory loss. is this norma? i exercise regularly, dont smoke or drink.

Probably normal: At age 65, neither the CT results nor your minor memory problems are abnormal. On the other hand, either or both could be significant. The significance of either one requries in-person evaluation. It would be reasonable to see a neurlogist and take it from there. Good luck.

Hi doctors. I'm having a CT scan of the sinuses. The MRI of the brain from December, 2020 found opacification, but no tumor, nor did a visual endoscopy of my sinuses in the office....is it likely that there still may be tumors found on the CT scan?
