Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzar Klmn / M / 12 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O seizures (2 episodes in 3 months) and headaches since 4 years.
H/O trauma 2 1/2 months back.

EXAMINATION :

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

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

OBSERVATION :

There is no focal area of altered signal intensity in the brain parenchyma.

The hippocampal complex on either side is unremarkable.

A well-defined, extra-axial lesion is seen in the superior cerebellar cistern following CSF signal characteristics on all the pulse sequences and most likely represents an arachnoid cyst.

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.

Incidental note is made of enlarged adenoids.

IMPRESSION :

An extra-axial, CSF intensity lesion in the superior cerebellar cistern most likely represents an arachnoid cyst.

No other significant abnormality is detected on this study.
