Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzra Mahlmn / M / 18 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzshi.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Left Thigh.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O pain in the left thigh since 1 year.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I. of the left thigh was performed using the following parameters :
10 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.
6 mm thick STIR and T1 Weighted coronal images.
6 mm thick T1 Weighted and GRASS sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is evidence of an irregularly defined mass lesion within the left vastus medialis muscle in the middle third of the left thigh extending over a distance of approximately 10.0 cms. The inferior aspect of this lesion is located at the distance of approximately 12 - 13 cms from the left knee joint.
This lesion is predominantly hyperintense on all the pulse sequences. A few serpingeneous signal voids suggestive of vessels are seen within this lesion. A few punctate hypointensities on the GRASS images within this lesion may represent paramagnetic substances/calcium/fibrous tissue.
The visualized portion of the left femur shows normal signal intensity. There is no obvious bony destruction or erosion.
The fat planes around the muscles are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of a mass lesion within the left vastus medialis muscle in the middle third of the left thigh extending over a distance of approximately 10.0 cms. as described. This most likely represents a neoplasm like a hemangioma. The possibility of this being another neoplasm like a soft tissue sarcoma cannot be excluded.

CLINICAL PROFILE :
Known C/O depressive psychosis and Parkinsons and was on Rx.

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 are hyperintense areas on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in bilateral corona radiata, left centrum semiovale and head of the caudate nucleus on the left side. These are isointense to the white matter on the T1 Weighted images and suggestive of ischemic changes.
Both the 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 an empty sella.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of areas of altered signal in
bilateral corona radiata, left centrum semiovale and head of the caudate nucleus on the left side and would represent ischemic changes.

Name of the Patient : Abc XyzMlmn / M / 35 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzrnad.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O sudden onset of facial asymmetry, deviation of both eyes towards right and diminished vision of the left eye and gait imbalance since 00.00.00.
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 coronal images.
3 mm thick STIR coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is a hyperintense focus located in the midbrain anterior to the aqueduct of sylvius (scans 103.7, 104.9) on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images. Another similar focus is seen in the pons anterior to the fourth ventricle (scans 103.5, 102.5).
Prominent perivascular space is seen in the lentiform nuclei bilaterally.
The left internal carotid artery appears smaller in diameter as compared to the opposite side.
The optic nerves show normal signal intensity on the STIR images bilaterally. The cavernous sinuses are unremarkable.
Both the lateral and third ventricles are normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures. The vertebro-basilar artery is ectatic.
Incidental note is made of right maxillary polyp.
IMPRESSION :
1. Hyperintense foci in the midbrain anterior to the aqueduct and in the pons anterior to the fourth ventricle are most likely ischemic in etiology. The possibility of demyelination seems unlikely.
2. Narrowing of the left internal carotid artery requires further evaluation.
An MRA would be worthwhile.
