Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzrthi Mlmn / M / 85 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzatt.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O drowsiness with slight right sided weakness since 2 days.

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 and Fast Scan (T2 *) coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :

Small irregularly defined areas of hyperintensity on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images are seen within the periatrial white matter bilaterally. These are iso to hypointense to normal white matter on the T1 Weighted images and are most likely ischemic in etiology.

There is fullness of the ventricular system. There is prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci and cerebellar folia bilaterally.

The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of :

1. Areas of altered signal within the periatrial white matter bilaterally are most likely ischemic in etiology.

2. Age related cerebral and cerebellar atrophy.
