Name of the Patient : Abc XyzA. Dulmn / F / 19 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
H/O blurred vision in the left eye since 15 days.
H/O paresthesias in the RUE and palm of LUE.
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.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
3 mm thick STIR coronal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is no focal area of altered signal intensity in the brain parenchyma.
The proximal aspect of the intra-orbital segment of the left optic nerve is hyperintense on the STIR images. The right optic nerve shows normal signal intensity.
There is asymmetric prominence of the body of the right lateral ventricle as compared to the left and this may be a normal variant.
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 pansinusitis.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of altered signal of the left optic nerve. This may represents neuritis/demyelination/ischemia.
