Name of the Patient : Abc XyzP. Sallmn / F / 50 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O single episode of seizure 8 days back with headaches since then.

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 T2 Weighted coronal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :

There are hyperintense areas on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in the posterior parietal deep white matter bilaterally. These are hypointense to normal white matter on the T1 Weighted images and may be ischemic in etiology.

The hippocampal complex is unremarkable on either side.

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






Incidental note is made of mild inflammatory changes in the right maxillary sinus and ethmoidal air cells.

IMPRESSION :

1. Altered signal in the posterior parietal, deep white matter, most likely represents ischemic changes.

2. Mild cerebellar atrophy.
