Date : 00.00.00

Name of the Patient : Abc XyzDamlmn / F / 42 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzmpat.
Examination : Intracranial and Neck M.R.A.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O seizures on 00.00.00.

EXAMINATION :

The brain was screened with 5 mm thick T2 Weighted axial images and 5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

Intracranial MRA was performed with 3D TOF sequence.

Intracranial MRV was performed using 2D TOF sequences in the axial, coronal and sagittal planes.

OBSERVATION :

There is an ill-defined predominant hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images in the left temporo-parietal and high parietal regions. This lesion remains predominantly hypointense on the T2 Weighted images with focal hyperintense areas within. On the T1 Weighted images faint hyperintense signal is noted in some regions. There is perilesional white matter edema with sulcal space effacement and indentation on the atrium of the left lateral ventricle. The third ventricle is also effaced with shift of the midline structures to the right.

The fourth ventricle is normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable.






There is loss of normal flow void signal in the dural venous sinuses (superior sagittal, right transverse and sigmoid sinuses) with a hyperintense signal on the T1 Weighted images within these sinuses, which appears relatively hypointense on the T2 Weighted images.

INTRACRANIAL MRV :

On the MRV, there is loss of normal flow signal in the superior sagittal sinus, right transverse sinus and to some extent in the right sigmoid sinus. The normal flow signal is however noted in the straight sinus, torcula, left transverse and sigmoid sinuses and in the internal cerebral veins and vein of Galen.

INTRACRANIAL MRA :

The left middle cerebral artery and its Sylvian branches appear slightly stretched due to the mass effect of the left cerebral hemispheric lesion.

The petrous, cavernous and supraclinoid segments of the internal carotid arteries bilaterally show normal signal and calibre. The visualized anterior cerebral, right middle cerebral, basilar, vertebral and posterior cerebral arteries also show normal signal, calibre and wall margins. No obvious aneurysm or vascular malformation is identified.

IMPRESSION :

1. Lesion in the left temporo-parietal and high parietal regions, most likely represents an haemorrhagic infarct, probably venous, in view of the loss of normal flow signal in the dural sinuses as described.

2. Loss of normal flow signal in the dural venous sinuses as described suggests venous sinus thrombosis.

3. Except for stretched left MCA and its Sylvian branches, no significant abnormality is detected on the intracranial MRA on this study.

Date : 00.00.00

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Mlmn / M / 20 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzhru / Dr. Abc Xyzankhla.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

H/O road traffic accident at 4.30 pm on 00.00.00 with injury to the head.

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.

SOME IMAGES SHOW MOTION ARTIFACTS.

OBSERVATION :

There is seen a very thin sliver of hyperintense signal on the proton and T2 Weighted images in the subdural space in the left fronto-temporal region. This lesion follows CSF signal on the T1 Weighted images and may represent a very small, subdural effusion.

There is a small hyperintense focus in the left parietal region (scans 106.8, 106.9) in the cortex best appreciated on the FLAIR images and represents a cortical contusion.

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.






Probable fractures are noted in the lateral wall of the left orbit and the left zygomatic arch.

Fluid level is noted in the sphenoid sinus and left maxillary antrum, which may represent haemorrhage in the given clinical setting.

Susceptibility artifacts are noted in the soft tissues in the left fronto-temporo-parietal region, the result of the accidental injury. Altered signal in the subgaleal soft tissues in the left posterior parietal region, left temporal region and in the left periorbital region represents soft tissue contusions/hematoma.

IMPRESSION :

1. A very small, subdural effusion along the left fronto-temporal convexity.

2. Cortical contusion in the parietal lobe.

3. Subgaleal soft tissue injury as described with probable haemorrhage in the left maxillary antrum and sphenoid sinus.

4. Probable fractures in the lateral wall of the left orbit and left zygomatic arch

A 3D CT would be useful.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the dorsal spine was performed using the following parameters :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.

Metallic susceptibility artifacts due to Harrington Rod placement are observed.

OBSERVATION :

There is evidence of internal fixation of the dorsal spine with metallic susceptibility artifacts at the D11 and D4 vertebral levels. There is evidence of antero-lateral decompression on the right side.

There is near complete collapse of the D8 vertebral body. The D7, D8 and D9 vertebral bodies appear hypointense on the T1 Weighted images and heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. The D7-D8 and D8-D9 intervertebral discs are not well identified. Minimal right paravertebral and anterior epidural soft tissue lesion is noted at the D8 and D9 vertebral levels. There is mild thecal sac compression at these levels.






The dorsal spinal cord over the D7 to D9 vertebral levels shows a subtle hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images which may suggest cord edema/ischemia/gliosis. Probable atrophy of the cord is noted at the D8-D9 level.

The rest of the visualized dorsal vertebral bodies reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints are unremarkable.

The conus medullaris terminates at the L2 level.

IMPRESSION :

1. Post-operative status with susceptibility artifacts due to metallic implant.

2. Near complete collapse of the D8 vertebral body with altered signal of the D7, D8 and D9 vertebrae may suggest residual tuberculous osteitis in the given clinical setting. Minimal right paravertebral and anterior epidural soft tissue extension is noted.

3. Altered cord signal over the D7 to D9 vertebral levels may suggest cord edema/ischemia/gliosis.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :

There is an ill-defined, hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images involving the left iliac, pubic and ischial bones. This lesion appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and STIR images. Part of the left iliac bone in the region of the left sacro-iliac joint and the iliac crest seem to be spared. Minimal expansion of the affected bone segments is also noted, with probable minimal periosteal reaction. No significant soft tissue component of the lesion is noted.

Similar signal intensity changes are noted in the right iliac bone, posteriorly adjacent to the right sacro-iliac joint and in the sacral segments as described.



A suspicious lesion is also seen in the mid shaft of the left femur.

A small left hip joint effusion is noted. The femoral heads are otherwise unremarkable on either side. The right acetabulum is unremarkable.

IMPRESSION :

In a known C/O Ca breast, altered signal in the left iliac, pubic and ischial bones, in the right iliac bone, posteriorly adjacent to the right sacro-iliac joint and in the sacral segments as described most likely represents metastasis.

EXAMINATION :

The brain was screened with 5 mm thick T2 Weighted axial images, 5 mm thick Fast Scan (T2 *) coronal images and 5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

Intracranial and neck MRA were performed with 3D TOF and 2D TOF sequences, respectively.

OBSERVATION :

There is seen a well marginated, approximately 0.8 x 3.0 x 2.5 cms sized hyperintense mass lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the left external capsular region. This lesion remains hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images and shows evidence of a peripheral hypointense rim, more pronounced on the Fast Scan (T2 *) images. There is no perilesional edema. Mild effacement of the left Sylvian cistern is noted.

An ill-defined hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images is noted in the ponto-medullary junction on the left, anteriorly. This most likely represents an ischemic lesion.

Inflammatory changes are noted in the left mastoid air cells.

INTRACRANIAL MRA :

There is ectasia of the vertebro-basilar system. The right vertebral artery is hypoplastic.
