I'm really worried about my friend's CT scan results. It shows focal gliosis in the right posterior perinatal region. Can you explain what this means? Should we be concerned and what kind of treatment should he consider? Is this something serious?

I'm really concerned about something unusual that happened today. My friend experienced twisting of her tongue a couple of times at different intervals.

Now, I'm wondering if we should also consult a neurologist. Does this situation typically require a specialist? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
