Could Blood Clot In Brain Be Harmful?
Hello. Thank you for your time.My 25 y.o. daughter got an MRI then an MRA after the radiologist found an abnormality in a vein in her brain. She originally went in to get the MRI to check because she was seen by an EMT md for hearing loss in one ear (asymmetrical hearing loss) and could find no reason for it. Well, after the MRA she was told she has a small clot in a vein in her brain and not to worry about it. Then they seemed more concerned about getting her into hearing aid. My question: is it accurate to not be concerned about a blood clot in the brain?

Clot in vein of brain can be either cortical vein thrombosis or dural venous sinus thrombosis. In both of these conditions, need to try to find the cause of such clot in vein.
Also need to ask some history regarding any hormonal preparation by your daughter.
I advise these tests for your daughter:
1. APLA
2. Cardiolipin antibodies
3. Protein C
4. Protein S
5. Factor V Leiden mutation
6. Anti thrombin III
