Suggest Treatment For Calcification On Frontal Lobe
My mother was told, after having brain scan, that she has some calcification on her frontal lobe. She has to go in for another scan soon. We are wondering what kinds of things (diseases/conditions etc) could be diagnosed? The doctored seemed to change the subject, clearly wanting to wait (understandably) for another test.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
There are different brain lesions that may have as their part calcifications.
These include low grade glial tumors, benign Meningiomas, cavernomas ( vascular malformation), or may be simple calcifications of brain parenchyma related to age.
Cerebral MRI with gadolinium is needed to evaluate the true nature of the lesion.
Hope this helps. If you have further questions feel free to ask.
