Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz lmn / F / 11 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzshi.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

H/O vomiting with loss of consciousness for 3 hours on 00.00.00.
H/O headaches prior to this.

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, T2 Weighted and FLAIR coronal images.

OBSERVATION :

There is a small, subcentimeter lesion in the left temporo-occipital region. This lesion is hyperintense with a hypointense rim on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images. This lesion is not well identified on the T1 Weighted images. There is surrounding white matter edema with effacement of the adjacent cerebral cortical sulci.

There is mild prominence of the cerebellar folia.

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 :

The MRI features are suggestive of a granulomatous infective lesion in the left temporo-occipital region following the signal characteristics of a cysticercus in the colloid-vesicular stage.
