Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzkh Dlmn / M / 47 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzngsarkar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache radiating to the RLE with numbness since 1 year which has increased since 4 months.
H/O fall 1 year back.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the lumbo-sacral spine was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
6 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.
OBSERVATION :
Areas of hypointensity on the T1 Weighted images which turn heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images are seen to involve the L3 and L4 vertebral bodies and pedicles. Also seen is involvement of the L3-L4 intervertebral disc with erosion of the adjacent cortical endplates.
There is extension of this pathologic process into the paravertebral soft tissues and psoas muscles bilaterally at the L3 and L4 vertebral levels.
A small posterior disc herniation with small peridiscal osteophyte is seen to indent the thecal sac at the L2-L3 level. A right far lateral (extraforaminal) disc herniation is also seen at this level. Mild bilateral foraminal narrowing is also seen at this level.
Scan-00002
Bilateral small postero-lateral (foraminal) disc herniations are seen at the L4-L5 level with resultant mild neural foraminal narrowing bilaterally.
There is a posterior disc bulge at the L5-S1 level. Also seen is a left far lateral (extraforaminal) disc bulge at the L2-L3 level.
There is an anterior disc herniation with peridiscal osteophytes at the L2-L3 level. Type II degenerative changes are noted in the L2 vertebral body.
The rest of the lumbar intervertebral discs show loss of water content.
The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level and the thecal sac terminates at the S2 level.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of osteitis and discitis of the L3 and L4 vertebrae and L3-L4 intervertebral disc, respectively with soft tissue extensions as described. This most likely represents an infective process like tuberculosis.
The possibility of this being a neoplastic process is less likely.

OBSERVATION :
There is evidence of a fairly well-defined, lobulated mass lesion involving the sacrum from the S2 level downwards. Anteriorly it is seen to extend into the pelvis with displacement of the rectum anteriorly and to the left. Posteriorly it is seen to extend into the posterior paraspinal soft tissues. The sacro-iliac joints per se do not seem to be involved by the lesion.

Also seen within this lesion are areas of hyperintensity on the T1 Weighted images and which show intermediate signal characteristics on the T2 Weighted and STIR images. This may represent proteinacious material/paramagnetic substances or bone.
A catheter is noted within the urinary bladder.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz lmn / M / 21 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyziya.
Examination : Intracranial and Neck M.R.A.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
H/O vehicular accident on 00.00.00 with LOC for 48 hours with vomiting (2 times).
EXAMINATION :
The brain was screened with 5 mm thick T2 Weighted and FLAIR axial images.
Intracranial and neck MRA were performed with 3D TOF and 2D TOF sequences, respectively.
FEW NECK MRA IMAGES SHOW PATIENT MOTION.
OBSERVATION :
There is gyral thickening in the bifrontal regions and left fronto-temporal lobes adjacent to the left Sylvian fissure. These are hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and FLAIR images. Areas of hyperintensity on the T1 Weighted images are seen within these areas and would represent subacute blood. In the given clinical setting of trauma, these lesions would represent haemorrhagic cortical contusions.
Both the lateral, third and the fourth ventricles are normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures.
INTRACRANIAL MRA :
There is a focal well-circumscribed area along the midportion of the left posterior cerebral artery. This, most likely represents a turn of the vessel. The possibility of an aneurysm seems less likely.
- 2 - Scan-00002
The petrous, cavernous and supraclinoid segments of the internal carotid arteries bilaterally show normal signal and calibre. The visualized anterior cerebral, middle cerebral, basilar, vertebral and right posterior cerebral arteries also show normal signal, calibre and wall margins. No obvious aneurysm or vascular malformation is identified.
NECK MRA :
The common carotid arteries and their extracranial branches appear normal bilaterally. There are no vessel wall irregularities or stenosis of the vessels noted.
IMPRESSION :
The MRA features are suggestive of :
1. Haemorrhagic cortical contusions in the bifrontal regions and left fronto-temporal lobes adjacent to the left Sylvian fissure.
2. A focal well-circumscribed area along the midportion of the left posterior cerebral artery most likely represents a turn of the vessel. The possibility of an aneurysm seems less likely.
If clinically indicated a DSA would be worthwhile.

After administration of contrast the following parameters were used :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted axial and coronal images with magnetization transfer.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
There is peripheral enhancement of the cystic/necrotic areas (as seen on the previous MRI scan-00000, dated 00.00.00) within the right frontal lobe. A few irregularly defined areas of enhancement adjacent to the aforementioned lesion are also seen.
There is no other focal area of abnormal enhancement within the brain parenchyma or along the meninges.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Nalmn / F / 12 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzshi.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Dorsal Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache since 2 months and weakness of BLE with bladder/bowel involvement since 2 days.
H/O paraspinal abscess since 6 months. On AKT.
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.
OBSERVATION :
There is near complete collapse of the D7 vertebral body with resultant retropulsion and compression upon the spinal cord at this level. The cord at this level shows a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images suggestive of cord edema/isclmn / Myelitis. Also seen is a resultant kyphus at this level.
Areas of hypointensity on the T1 Weighted images which turn heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images are seen to involve the D6, D7 and D8 vertebral bodies (with slight involvement of the D9 and D10 vertebral bodies). Also seen is involvement of the D6 to D9 pedicles bilaterally and the right pedicle of the D10 vertebra. The D6-D7 and D7-D8 intervertebral discs are also involved.
There is extension of the pathologic process into the anterior epidural space over the D6 to D8 vertebral levels and into the pre and left paravertebral soft tissues over the D5 to D8 vertebral levels. Also seen is extension into the right paravertebral soft tissues over the D5 to D10 vertebral levels.

The D6 to D10 ribs on the right side are involved with presence of a right sided pleural effusion (? loculated).
The rest of the visualized dorsal vertebral bodies and remaining intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints are unremarkable.
The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of an infective process involving the D6 to the D10 vertebrae and the D6-D7 and D7-D8 intervertebral discs with near complete collapse of the D7 vertebral body with cord compression and cord edema/isclmn / Myelitis as described. This most likely represents tuberculosis.
The possibility of this being a neoplastic process like a round cell tumor is less likely.
