Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz G. Palmn / M / 49 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzsbekar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O decreased hearing bilaterally since April 0000.
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 T1 Weighted and FLAIR coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is seen an expansile lesion involving the clivus. This lesion is of intermediate signal on the T1 Weighted images and appears relatively hypointense on the T2 Weighted images. The margins of the clivus are not well-defined. The lesion is seen to extend anteriorly upto the posterior nasopharyngeal wall. Posteriorly the lesion is seen to indent the basilar artery and the pons with slight effacement of the prepontine cistern. There is no definite extension of the lesion into the cavernous sinus on either side. The sphenoid sinus is not well identified. Destruction of the dorsum sella is noted. The pituitary gland is however well identified separate from the lesion.
Inflammatory changes are noted in the left maxillary sinus, frontal sinuses, ethmoidal air cells and the middle ear.
There is an ill-defined, hyperintense signal on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images along the right posterior parietal cortex and in the left frontal cortex. This lesion appears relatively hypointense on the T1 Weighted images. Resultant slight volume loss is noted in this region. Small bright foci on the proton and T2 Weighted images are noted in the centrum semiovale bilaterally.
Both the lateral, third and the fourth ventricles are normal. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.
IMPRESSION :
1. An expansile mass lesion in the region of the clivus, with extensions as described, is not specific for a single etiology. A clival or a sphenoid sinus neoplasm or a small cell tumor (a nasopharyngeal carcinoma is less likely) may be considered as the differential diagnosis.
2. Altered signal in the right posterior parietal cortex, in the left frontal cortex and centrum semiovale bilaterally, most likely represent ischemic changes.

Examination : M.R.I. of the Neck.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O decreased hearing bilaterally since April 0000.

6 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There are multiple enlarged lymph nodes in the neck on either side, varying in size from about 1.0 cm to 2.5 cms in maximum transverse dimensions. These lymph nodes are noted in the submandibular region, deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscles bilaterally and in the posterior triangle on either side. These lymph nodes are of intermediate signal on the T1 Weighted images and appear hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images.

M.R.I of the cervical spine was performed using the following parameters :
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :
The lower medulla, cervical and upper dorsal spinal cords are increased in diameter.
There is seen an ill-marginated, intermediate signal intensity mass lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the cervical spinal cord, extending over the C2 to C6 vertebral levels.

CSF signal intensity lesion on all the pulse sequences is noted in the distal medulla and the cervico-medullary junction and within the cervical spinal cord at the C7 and D1, D4 and D5 vertebral levels. These lesions may represent tumor related cysts/syrinx.
The inferior margin of the above described lesion, including the tumor related cyst is at the D5 vertebral level.
There is slight loss of water content of the C2-C3 to C5-C6 intervertebral discs.
Minimal posterior disc bulges are noted at the C4-C5 and C5-C6 levels.
IMPRESSION :
A heterogeneous signal intensity, intramedullary mass lesion extending from the distal medulla upto the D5 vertebral level, is not specific for a single etiology. This most likely represents an intramedullary neoplasm like an astrocytoma or an ependymoma.
The possibility of an infective/inflammatory lesion seems less likely.
A contrast enhanced scan may be worthwhile.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Qurlmn / F / 23 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzhari.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O neckpain radiating to the RUE with numbness since 4 years.
Alleged H/O fall prior to this.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the cervical spine was performed using the following parameters :
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) axial images.
OBSERVATION :
The lower medulla, cervical and upper dorsal spinal cords are increased in diameter.
There is seen an ill-marginated, intermediate signal intensity mass lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the cervical spinal cord, extending over the C2 to C6 vertebral levels. This lesion appears heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images. A similar signal intensity intramedullary lesion is noted at the D2 and D3 vertebral levels. Effacement of the CSF space in the cervical region is noted.
CSF signal intensity lesion on all the pulse sequences is noted in the distal medulla and the cervico-medullary junction and within the cervical spinal cord at the C7 and D1, D4 and D5 vertebral levels. These lesions may represent tumor related cysts/syrinx.
The inferior margin of the above described lesion, including the tumor related cyst is at the D5 vertebral level.
There is slight loss of water content of the C2-C3 to C5-C6 intervertebral discs.
Minimal posterior disc bulges are noted at the C4-C5 and C5-C6 levels.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Ylmn / F / 40 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzshar / Dr. Abc Xyzri.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O tingling in the LUE and LLE since May 0000.
For follow up.
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.
Limited 2D PC MR Angiogram images were obtained in the axial and coronal planes.
OBSERVATION :
There is an ill-defined, predominantly hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images in the right high parietal cortex. This lesion appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and FLAIR images and represents gliotic/encephalomalacic changes, the sequelae of a previous vascular insult. Ill-defined, hyperintense signal on all pulse sequences is noted within the above described lesion, which represents extracellular methaemoglobin (subacute haemorrhage).
There is an ill-defined, hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images along the right fronto-temporo-parietal cortex and subcortical white matter. This lesion appears hyperintense on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images. Resultant slight effacement of the sulcal spaces in these regions is noted.
scan-00005
The petrous and the cavernous segments of the right internal carotid artery show an intraluminal, hyperintense signal on all pulse sequences, instead of the normal flow-void signal. On the MRA sequences, there is non-visualization of the right internal carotid artery.
Both the lateral, third and the fourth ventricles are normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures.
IMPRESSION :
1. Alterd signal in the right high parietal cortex represents gliotic/encephalomalacic changes, the sequelae of a previous vascular insult. Evidence of subacute haemorrhage is also noted.
2. Altered signal along the right fronto-temporo-parietal cortex and subcortical white matter follows the signal characteristics of a recent ischemic lesion.
3. Slow flow/thrombus in the petrous and cavernous segments of the right internal carotid artery with non-visualization of the intracranial segment of the right internal carotid artery.
As compared to the previous limited MRI dated 00.00.00 (scan no.00006), there is an increase in the extent of the lesion. There is also evidence of slow flow/thrombus in the petrous and cavernous segments of the right internal carotid artery on the present study.
