Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
According to the reports there are abnormal shadows in the brain.It may be due to many reasons like infection,tumour etc.
You need contrast CT Scan or MRI brain(Plain and contrast)for further evaluation.
Besides this you need clinical correlation and routine blood investigations.
Hope i have answered your query.
