Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your CT brain reports. Unfortunately, the report is sketchy and does not provide detailed information.I would like to have detailed CT scan report as well as your clinical symptoms.

Inflammation in the ventricles suggest an infection called as ventriculitis.

If MRI brain also confirms that, you would need to undergo a spinal tap to rule out meningitis or brain fever.

There are good antibiotics to treat this condition.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
