Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Govlmn / M / 18 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzat.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache since 1 month with weakness of BLE and bladder involvement since 00.00.00.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the cervical spine was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) axial images.
OBSERVATION :
There is slight increase in the diameter of the cervical spinal cord over about the C3 to C7 vertebral levels. There is seen an ill-defined, hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 * ) images in the cervical spinal cord, centrally over C4 to D1 vertebral levels but also involving the posterior and lateral columns. This lesion appears isointense to the normal cord on the T1 Weighted images.
There is slight loss of water content of the C2-C3 intervertebral disc.
The cervical vertebral bodies and the remaining intervertebral discs show normal signal intensity. The joints of Luschka and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
The atlanto-axial region and the cervico-medullary junction are unremarkable.
Screening, T2 Weighted sagittal images of the dorsal spine reveals subtle hyperintense signal in the mid and lower dorsal spinal cord.

IMPRESSION :
Slight increase in the diameter of the cervical spinal cord over about the C3 to C7 vertebral levels with altered signal as described is not specific for a single etiology. Myelitis is a likely possibility.
The possibility of a demyelinating lesion may be considered as a differential diagnosis.

Examination : Intracranial and Neck M.R.A.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O drooping of the left eyelid with numbness over the left half of the face and speech disturbance since 1 month.
EXAMINATION :
The brain was screened with 5 mm thick T2 Weighted axial images.
Intracranial and neck MRA were performed with 3D TOF and 2D TOF sequences, respectively.
MOTION ARTIFACTS ARE NOTED IN SOME IMAGES.
OBSERVATION :
There are ill-defined, hyperintense areas on the T2 Weighted images in the parathird ventricular regions bilaterally extending into the thalami. Similar signal intensity lesion is noted in the left medial temporal region and in the left cerebral peduncle, near the midline. These lesions most likely represent ischemic lesions.
There is mild fullness of both the lateral and the third ventricles. The fourth ventricle is normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures.
Inflammatory changes are noted in the maxillary sinuses bilaterally.
INTRACRANIAL MRA :
The right vertebral artery and the A1 segment of the right anterior cerebral artery appear hypoplastic. Narrowing of the terminal right vertebral artery, left posterior cerebral artery and distal left middle cerebral artery is noted.
..2/.
The petrous, cavernous and supraclinoid segments of the internal carotid arteries bilaterally show normal signal and calibre. The visualized left anterior cerebral, right middle cerebral, basilar, left vertebral and right posterior cerebral arteries also show normal signal, calibre and wall margins. No obvious aneurysm or vascular malformation is identified.

EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the abdomen was performed using the following parameters:
7 mm thick T1 Weighted, proton and T2 Weighted axial images.
5 mm thick FLAIR axial images.
6 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is seen an ill-defined, hyperintense signal on the T1 Weighted images in the medial segment of the left lobe of the liver anteriorly. This lesion appears isointense to the rest of the hepatic parenchyma on the T2 Weighted and STIR images. There is no distortion of the hepatic venous architecture on this study. No satellite lesion is noted on this study. There is no intrahepatic biliary radicle dilation.
The gall bladder is normal and reveals no intrinsic abnormality.
The pancreas is normal in bulk and signal intensity.
The spleen and both adrenals are normal.
Both the kidneys are normal in size and signal characteristics.
No obvious lymphadenopathy is detected. There is no evidence of free fluid within the abdomen.
IMPRESSION :
Ill-defined, altered signal intensity lesion in the medial segment of the left lobe of the liver anteriorly as described, is not specific for a single etiology. Focal fatty change may be considered as a differential diagnosis. Metastatic deposit cannot be entirely excluded, though less likely.
A post-contrast MRI of the liver, biopsy of the lesion or a follow up scan are indicated.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzee Shlmn / F / 26 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O seizures since 1 1/2 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.
4 mm thick FLAIR and Fast Scan (T2 *) coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is a large, ill-defined hypointense area in the left occipital lobe which follows CSF signal intensity characteristics on all the pulse sequences. Hyperintense areas are noted at the periphery of this lesion on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images which are hypointense to the normal white matter on the T1 Weighted images and are suggestive of gliosis. There is dilatation of the occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle and this lesion would represent an area of cystic encephalomalacia. A large lesion which is slightly hyperintense on the T1 Weighted images is seen within the above mentioned lesion which measures approximately 2.8 x 1.0 x 2.1 mms and is seen to bloom on the proton, T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images and represents a large area of calcification.
The right 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.
Incidental note is made of enlarged adenoids.
