Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzi Kolmn / F / 72 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyz Mehta.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O drowsiness since 4-5 days.
Known hypertensive.
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.
FEW IMAGES SHOW PATIENT MOTION.
OBSERVATION :
There are hyperintense areas on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in the right lentiform nucleus, left thalamus and the frontal periventricular deep white matter. These are isointense to white matter on the T1 Weighted images and are suggestive of areas of ischemia/infarction.
Lacunar infarct is noted in the right corona radiata (scan 102.14, 103.14, 104.14) .
There is mild fullness of both the lateral ventricles. The third and the fourth ventricles are normal. Slight prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci is noted. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.
Metallic susceptibility artifacts are noted as a result of dentures.
IMPRESSION :
1. Altered signal in the right lentiform nucleus, left thalamus and the frontal periventricular deep white matter is suggestive of areas of ischemia/infarction.
2. Lacunar infarct in the right corona radiata.
3. Mild cerebral atrophy.
