Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O gradually progressive loss of vision of the left eye since 2 months.
Now C/O diminished vision on the right side since 2-4 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 coronal images.
3 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images through the optic nerves.
OBSERVATION :
There is no focal area of altered signal intensity in the brain parenchyma.
There is mild fullness of both the lateral ventricles. The third and the fourth ventricles are normal. There is slight 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.
The left optic nerve appears smaller in calibre when compared to the right, with increased perioptic CSF. Both optic nerves however show normal signal characteristics. The visualized orbits are also unremarkable.
IMPRESSION :
No significant abnormality is detected within the brain parenchyma per se.
Left optic nerve atrophy.
