hi
wel come to HCM,
read your prob, plain CT head shows ishemic infract bilateral basal ganglion thalami n
external capsule, excatly what is it , this is not cleared by plain CT , as there r many cause of it like vasculitis, sarcoidosis etc, so you have to get contrast MRI hence you can rule out the diease . so discuss it with your doc n start proper treatment.

Thanks a lot for using healthcaremagic. CT scan suggest multiple lacunar infarcts probably due to uncontrolled hypertension. It is not CNS vasculitis or Sarcoidosis. The pain on movement of neck is not related to this. It may be due to cervical spondylosis. Get an MRI of the neck and sort the problem with a good Neurologist. Control the BP or else the infarcts will increase in the future. Bye
