5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :

There are ill-defined hypointense areas in the left temporo-parietal region on the T1 Weighted images which are seen to follow CSF signal characteristics on all the pulse sequences. Hyperintense areas are seen at the periphery of this lesion on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images which are hypointense to normal white matter on the T1 Weighted images and would represent areas of gliosis. There is mild fullness of the atrium and occipital horn of the left lateral ventricle. This lesion in toto would represent an area of cystic encephalomalacia.

There is an ill-defined hyperintense signal on the T1 Weighted images in the lentiform nuclei bilaterally, extending into the subthalamic region. This signal appears isointense to normal grey matter on the T2 Weighted and FLAIR images.
