Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!

Thanks for asking. I understand your concern. Calcified granuloma of brain does not need any treatment if it does not produce symptoms. As you have excessive headaches, get full health check-up with refractory error, sinus problem, high blood pressure to exclude usual causes of headache.

In case of doubt. You need investigations like MRI. To know whether it's due to the granuloma. For causes, you need neurosurgeon's advise for treatment plan (with sometimes surgical removal).

Hope that clarifies your concerns. Thank you for the query.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
