Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Salmn / F / 19 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyztel.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Dorsal Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache with fever since 4 months with weakness of BLE since 6-7 days.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the dorsal spine was performed using the following parameters :
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
6 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.
OBSERVATION :
There is near complete collapse of the D5 vertebral body. Also seen is anterior wedging of the D4 vertebral body.
Areas of hypointensity on the T1 Weighted images which turn heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images are seen to involve the D1 to the D7 vertebral bodies and the pedicles of the D3, D4 and D5 vertebrae. The D10 vertebral body also shows subtle hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images. There is also involvement of the D4-D5 and D5-D6 intervertebral discs.
There is extension of this pathologic process into the anterior epidural space over the D3 to D6 vertebral levels with resultant cord compression. The cord over these levels shows a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images suggestive of cord edema/ischemia/myelitis.
This pathologic process is also seen to extend into the pre and paravertebral soft tissues over the D1 to the D7 vertebral levels. This lesion is seen to be hypointense with a hyperintense rim on the T1 Weighted images and hyperintense with a hypointense rim on the T2 Weighted images and most likely represents an abscess. Also seen is involvement of the costo-vertebral and costo-transverse joints at the D4, D5 and D6 vertebral levels.
The rest of the visualized dorsal vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints are unremarkable.
The lumbo-sacral spine was screened with 4 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images and is unremarkable.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of a pathologic process involving the D1 to the D7 vertebral bodies and D4-D5 and D5-D6 intervertebral disc with extensions and cord edema/isclmn / Myelitis as described. This most likely represents an infective etiology like tuberculosis.
The possibility of this being a neoplastic process like a small cell tumor is less likely.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzl Palmn / M / 55 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O right hemiparesis with slurred speech since 15 days with decreased hearing since 6 years.
Known hypertensive. On Rx.
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 is evidence of a well-defined wedge shaped area which is isointense to CSF on all the pulse sequences within the left temporal lobe. This is surrounded by hypointense areas on the T1 Weighted images which turn hyperintense on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images and would represent gliotic changes. This lesion in toto would represent an area of cystic encephalomalacia.
Multiple areas which are iso to hyperintense to CSF on all the pulse sequences are noted within the right periatrial white matter, left corona radiata, head of the caudate nuclei, pons and the lentiform nuclei. These would represent lacunar infarcts. A few of these are surrounded by hyperintense areas on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images which would represent gliotic changes.
Areas of hyperintensity on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images are seen within the periventricular white matter and the white matter in the fronto-parietal lobes bilaterally. These are iso to hypointense to normal white matter on the T1 Weighted images and are most likely ischemic in etiology.
..2/.
There is mild fullness of the third and both the lateral ventricles. Also seen is mild prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci bilaterally.
The fourth ventricle is 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 :
1. An area of cystic encephalomalacia within the left temporal lobe.
2. Lacunar infarcts within the right periatrial white matter, left corona radiata, head of the caudate nuclei, pons and the lentiform nuclei.
3. Altered signal within the periventricular white matter and the white matter in the fronto-parietal lobes bilaterally are most likely ischemic in etiology.
