Hyperintense signal is seen on the FLAIR images in the left frontal (scan 105.9) and right high parietal region (scan 105.4). This may be due to past ischemic insult.
There is mild fullness of the third and both the lateral ventricles. The fourth ventricle is normal. Also seen is prominence of the basal cisternal spaces, cerebral cortical sulci and cerebellar folia bilaterally.

3 mm thick T2 Weighted and 5 mm thick FLAIR coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
Limited 2D PC MRA sequence was obtained.
OBSERVATION :
There is volume loss of the left cerebral hemisphere. Thinning of the cortex of the left cerebral hemisphere is noted, with prominent sulcal spaces. There is resultant mild dilatation of the left lateral ventricle and slight thickening of the skull vault of the left hemicranium, more so in the frontal region. Slight hypertrophy of the left frontal sinus is noted as compared to the right. There is an ill-defined, hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in the subcortical white matter in the left temporo-parieto-occipital region. This signal appears isointense to the normal white matter on the T1 Weighted images. Few similar areas are also seen in the left frontal region.
There is prominence of the cerebellar folia bilaterally, right more than left (? crossed cerebellar diaschisis).
The right lateral, third and the fourth ventricles are normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is mild pull of the midline to the left. The left middle and posterior cerebral arteries appear smaller in calibre when compared to the right.
Inflammatory changes are noted in the right maxillary sinus.
IMPRESSION :
Volume loss of the left cerebral hemisphere with prominent sulcal spaces and mild dilatation of the left lateral ventricle suggest left sided hemiatrophy, most likely the sequelae of a previous vascular insult.

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 an ill-defined, hyperintense signal on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in the pons, centrally and more to the right of the midline, extending into the lower midbrain and right cerebral peduncle, superiorly and into the upper medulla on the right, anteriorly. This lesion appears hypointense on the T1 Weighted images.
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 and cerebellar folia bilaterally. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.
IMPRESSION :
Altered signal in the pons, extending into the lower midbrain and upper medulla as described, is not specific for a single etiology. Central pontine myelinolysis, demyelination or a neoplasm, may be considered as differential diagnosis.
The possibility of ischemic lesion or a granuloma seems less likely.
A contrast enhanced scan is essential.
