Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello. My son is 10years old and has been having headches for a while. Our GP sent us to a consultant ,who in his turn sent my son for a MRI . Something showed up on the scan and it hade to be repeated . Our consultant could not identify the artefact and hade to contact more senior specialists . They all not sure what it might be . Our consultant thought at first that it might be a scar tissue as a result of being born premature . Next step for my son is to see a cardiologist and geneticist . I have two questions . Number one: Is our consultant taking a right steps ? Number two: If he is taking the right steps, what is he looking for by running such tests?
