Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

The MRI scan shows clotting of blood withing passages of blood that is in the venous channels called dural venous sinuses. There is also detail of a venous hemorrhage in the sub cortical white matter as above. He had a condition in which there was thrombosis of blood and this caused reduced blood flow in some parts of the brain. This can cause seizures and irrelevant speech and stroke symptoms. He needs immediate treatment to prevent the thrombosis from spreading and normalize blood flow in the brain. He might need to stay in intensive care for a while and once his condition is stable, he can be treated with oral medication. He must follow up with his doctor after discharge.
