Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Dolmn / F / 83 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzh Shah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O weakness of the left side of the body since 1 day.
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.
OBSERVATION :
There are irregularly defined areas of hyperintensity on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images within the periventricular white matter, corona radiata, centrum semiovale, caudate and lentiform nuclei, pons and the external capsules bilaterally. These are iso to hypointense to normal white matter on the T1 Weighted images and are most likely ischemic in etiology.
There is mild fullness of the third and both the lateral ventricles. Also seen is prominence of the basal cisternal spaces, Sylvian fissures, cerebellar folia and cerebral cortical sulci bilaterally. Note is made of an empty sella.
The fourth ventricle is normal. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.
Incidental note is made of pansinusitis. The normal intraocular lens is not seen bilaterally (? the result of previous cataract surgery).
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of areas of altered signal intensity within the periventricular white matter, corona radiata, centrum semiovale, caudate and lentiform nuclei, pons and the external capsules bilaterally and are most likely ischemic in etiology.
