Name of the Patient : Abc XyzRaiglmn / F / 27 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzmpat.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O seizures (3 episodes) since 3 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.
After administration of contrast the following parameters were used :
4 mm thick T1 Weighted coronal images with magnetization transfer.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted axial images with magnetization transfer.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is a fairly large, well-defined mass lesion in the left high frontal region and which measures approximately 2.5 x 3.2 x 2.5 cms. This lesion is predominantly hypointense with few hyperintense areas within it on the T1 Weighted images. This is seen to turn hyperintense on the proton and T2 Weighted images and hypointense on the FLAIR images suggestive of its predominant cystic nature. There is surrounding edema with mass effect and effacement of the adjacent sulci. Mild indentation upon the body of the left lateral ventricle and slight straightening of the posterior part of the corpus callosum is noted. The adjacent gyri appear thick and are hypointense to normal gray matter on the T1 Weighted images which turn hyperintense on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images.
Scan-00007
On administration of contrast, there is faint enhancement at the periphery of the cystic component.
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.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of a mass lesion in the left high frontal region measuring approximately 2.5 x 3.2 x 2.5 cms. and most probably represents a neoplastic process like a glial cell tumor.

Examination : M.R.I. of the Left Elbow Joint.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O pain and swelling over the inner side of the left elbow with limitation of joint movements since 3 months.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I. of the left elbow joint was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) sagittal images.
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.
OBSERVATION :
There was a fixed flexion deformity at the left elbow joint.
The distal end of the left humures (including the epicondyles, trochlea and the capitellum), the proximal end of the radius and the ulna bones show normal signal intensity. Marginal osteophytes/new bone formation is noted along the inferior margin of the radial head, along the margins of the olecranon and coronoid processes and along the proximal end of the ulna. Slight remodelling of the radial head is also noted.
The articular cartilage in the radio-humeral joint appears slightly thinned. The annular ligament is unremarkable.
A small left elbow joint effusion is noted.
No obvious soft tissue mass lesion is identified around the visualized left elbow joint.
IMPRESSION :
Fixed flexion deformity at the left elbow joint with marginal osteophytes/new bone formation and slight remodelling of the radial head as described is not specific for a single etiology. These changes may be the sequelae of a previous inflammatory arthritis with secondary osetoarthritis. The possibility of a post-traumatic etiology seems less likely.

AKT taken irregularly for 1 year. Developed cervical lymphadenopathy in October 0000. Cervical lymphadenectomy done. Subsequently developed headaches and abnormal behaviour in March 0000. For follow-up.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.
4 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images were obtained in flexion and extension.
OBSERVATION :
There is atlanto-dens subluxation with the atlanto-dens interval measuring 5.0 mms in the neutral position. The peridental fat shows an ill-defined, hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images which turns hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images. On the flexion images, the atlanto-dens interval measures approximately 5.0 mms and on the extension images the atlanto-dens interval is approximately 3.0 mms. Minimal posterior disc bulges are noted at the C3-C4 and C4-C5 levels. Scan-00007
The cervical vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The joints of Luschka and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.The cervical spinal cord reveals normal signal intensity. There is no cord compression.The cervico-medullary junction is unremarkable.IMPRESSION :
1. Mobile atlanto-dens subluxation.
2. Altered signal in the peridental soft tissue may represent granulation tissue/fibrous tissue.
As compared to the previous MRI (study no:0000/4) dated 10/00.00.00, there is near complete resolution of the soft tissue in the right paravertebral region. The signal change in the right lateral mass of C1 and left lateral mass of C2 has also nearly resolved. Signal change in the peridental soft tissue represents granulation/fibrous tissue. There is no increase in the degree of the atlanto-dens subluxation.
