Question
My son is three years old, and his brain CT scan revealed three to four calcium deposits. He appears normal otherwise. Will calcium deposits in the brain affect his intellectual development? Do they require treatment? Thank you for your expert advice. I am very worried and hope you can provide a detailed answer.
Answer
Calcium deposits are typically the result of healed tuberculosis lesions or brain tissue sclerosis. Treatment is usually not necessary unless there is neural compression. If there are symptoms of compression, the first step should be to use blood circulation medications. If the effects are not satisfactory, surgery can be considered.
