Current medical treatment: ct should right iac is significantly larger than left. have MRI set up and an appt with neosurgeon
Any brain issue that causes such an appearance on a CT-scan is very likely to be a tumor. It could be a neurinoma of the acoustic nerve. Another question is if the tumor is benign or malignant.
You probably should consult a neurosurgeon about this problem.
