Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzsh Shanlmn / M / 13 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzdar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O seizures (2 episodes) since March 0000.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the brain was performed using the following parameters :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted, proton and T2 Weighted axial images.

5 mm thick FLAIR coronal images.

3 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted coronal images through the region of interest.

OBSERVATION :

There is seen a well-marginated, approximately 1.0 x 0.9 x 1.2 cms sized hypointense lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the subcortical white matter in the left high parietal region. This lesion appears hyperintense on the proton and T2 Weighted images with a peripheral hypointense rim. A probable scolex is noted along the superior margin of the lesion, anteriorly. There is minimal perilesional edema.

Both the lateral, third and the fourth ventricles are normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.

IMPRESSION :

An approximately 1.0 x 0.9 x 1.2 cms size lesion in the subcortical white matter in the left high parietal region follows the signal characteristics of a cysticercus in the colloid vesicular stage.
