Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzash S. Agalmn / M / 32 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O severe pain of the left half of the face since 1 week.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the brain was performed using the following parameters :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.
3 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted coronal images.
MR cisternogram was obtained in the coronal plane.
A limited MRA sequence (source images) was obtained in the region of interest.

OBSERVATION :

There is evidence of a punctate signal void just superior to the cisternal component of the left trigeminal nerve and is seen to abutt this nerve and would represent a small vascular loop. Another similar vascular loop is noted superior to the cisternal component of the right trigeminal nerve. However there is no indentation upon this nerve.

There is prominence of the cerebellar folia bilaterally.

Both the lateral, third and the fourth ventricles are normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures.

Inflammatory changes are noted in the left mastoid air cells.

IMPRESSION :

1. A small vascular loop abutting the cisternal component of the left trigeminal nerve.

2. Mild cerebellar atrophy.
