My father found to have guidiness yesterday. He is 60 years old and is diabetic.It was 222 last week. Suddenly it dropped to 72 yesterday and he was unstable. Went to hospital and was told there is blood clot in brain. Right lentiform nucleus infarct was there in the scan report. what does it mean ? Is it dangerous. is it curable
Hello, It looks like a Cerebrovascular Accident, A small infarct ??.  This infarct itself may not be dangerous if it is not evolving to a larger infarct. But you need to see a neurologist to get started on prophylactic medications to prevent similar events in the future. Cardio logical check up in view of uncontrolled diabetes and rule out a source of clot. Wish your father an earlier recovery.
