Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzchal Palmn / M / 5 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O GTC seizures since the age of 1 year.
Now since 15th February 0000 C/O left focal seizures (mainly involving the LLE).
H/O fever on 00.00.00.

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 and T2 Weighted coronal images.

OBSERVATION :

There is seen an approximately 1.0 cm diameter sized well marginated, hyperintense lesion with a hypointense rim on the proton and T2 Weighted images in the right fronto-parietal, parafalcine region. This lesion appears nearly isointense to grey matter on the T1 Weighted images. There is perilesional edema with effacement of the adjacent cortical sulcal spaces. Minimal indentation on the body of the right lateral ventricle is noted.

The left 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.

IMPRESSION :

An approximately 1.0 cm diameter sized lesion in the right fronto-parietal, parafalcine region as described, follows the signal characteristics of a neurocysticercus in the colloid-vesicular stage (?? tuberculous abscess).
