Now C/O gait imbalance since 6 months

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 STIR coronal images through the optic nerves.

OBSERVATION :

There is no focal area of altered signal intensity within the brain parenchyma.

The left optic nerve shows a hyperintense signal on the STIR images. The right optic nerve is unremarkable.

There is mild prominence of the cerebellar folia.

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.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of altered signal of the left optic nerve and may represent optic neuritis/demyelination/ ischemia.
