Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzarayan Slmn / M / 65 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O right sided hemiparesis with slurred speech since 12 days.
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 an area of hypointensity on the T1 Weighted images which turns hyperintense on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images within the left corona radiata and left centrum semiovale. This most likely represents an area of ischemia/infarction.
Lacunar infarcts (iso to hyperintense to CSF) are seen within the head of the left caudate nucleus, pons, both lentiform nuclei, corona radiata bilaterally, genu of the corpus callosum on the left side and in the deep white matter in the left frontal lobe. A few of these are surrounded by hyperintense areas on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images and these may represent gliotic changes.
Areas of hyperintensity on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images are seen within the pons, periventricular white matter in the fronto-parietal lobes bilaterally. These are iso to hypointense to white matter on the T1 Weighted images and these are most likely ischemic in etiology.
Scan-00004
There is mild fullness of the third and both the lateral ventricles. Also seen is mild prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci and cerebellar folia bilaterally.
Incidental note is made of an empty sella.
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 altered signal within the left corona radiata and left centrum semiovale represents an area of ischemia/infarction.
2. Lacunar infarcts within the head of the left caudate nucleus, pons, both lentiform nuclei, corona radiata bilaterally, genu of the corpus callosum on the left side and in the deep white matter in the left frontal lobe.

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted coronal images.
4 mm thick GRASS axial images.
OBSERVATION :
There is reduction in the medial tibio-femoral joint space.
Menisci
There is a linear, hyperintense signal on all the pulse sequences in the anterior and posterior horns of the medial meniscus of the left knee joint not reaching upto the articular margin. This suggests Grade II meniscal degeneration.
The anterior and posterior horns of the lateral menisci reveal normal configuration and signal characteristics.

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.
3 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images and 3 mm thick T2 Weighted coronal images through the sella and perisellar region.
OBSERVATION :
There is volume loss in the right parieto-occipital region, right frontal region and in the right anterior temporal region. There is a CSF signal intensity lesion on all the pulse sequences in these regions, which represents areas of cystic encephalomalacia, most likely the sequelae of previous vascular insult. Perilesional hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted and FLAIR images represents gliotic changes. Mild focal dilatation of the atrium and posterior body of the right lateral ventricle is noted.
Small bright foci on the T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in the right centrum semiovale (in the watershed zone of the ACA and MCA) also represent ischemic changes. The petrous and cavernous segments of the right internal carotid artery show evidence of an intraluminal signal in place of the normal flow void signal suggesting a thrombus/slow flow.
There is mild dilatation of both the lateral and third ventricles. The fourth ventricle is normal. There is slight prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci and basal cisternal spaces bilaterally. There is no shift of the midline structures.
The pituitary gland appears normal in height without focal mass lesion. The pituitary stalk is in the midline. Perisellar region is unremarkable.
Inflammatory changes are noted in the ethmoidal air cells bilaterally.
IMPRESSION :
1. Areas of cystic encephalomalacia in the right parieto-occipital region, right frontal region and in the right anterior temporal region most likely the sequelae of previous vascular insult.

OBSERVATION :
There are ill-marginated hyperintense areas on the T1 Weighted images in the upper medulla, thalami, subthalamic region and the lentiform nuclei and at the tip of the central sulcus bilaterally.

3 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There are small bright foci on the T2 Weighted and STIR images in the left frontal subcortical and deep white matter, which may represent ischemic changes.
There is mild fullness of both the lateral ventricles. The third and the fourth ventricles are normal. There is slight prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci bilaterally. A mega cisterna magna is noted. The rest of the basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.
The optic nerves on either side show normal signal characteristics. However they are slightly smaller in calibre than normal.
