What Does My CT Scan Test Result Indicate?
Question: My wife has had a scan of her brain and it showed signs of cerebral vascular degeneration. She is 60 yrs old doesn't smoke (but did until 29yrs old) and doesnt drink alcohol (but did until she was 40 yrs old). She has type 2 diabetes. What is the likely consequence going forward of this problem?
Brief Answer:
Predisposition to dementias.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
It is necessary to upload the CT scan report in order to understand better your wife's condition, whether there are changes due to small artery disease or large arteries involvement.
However, these conditions predispose to dementias, so, neuropsychological tests are needed to evaluate better the situation.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
