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.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.

OBSERVATION :

There is loss of water content of the L3-L4 and L4-L5 intervertebral discs with reduction in height.

There is a fairly large, posteriorly herniated disc with peridiscal osteophytes at the L4-L5 level, indenting the dural theca anteriorly with bilateral neural foraminal narrowing and canal stenosis. Slight inferior migration of the disc fragment is noted, to the left of the midline, indenting the traversing left L5 nerve root.

A posterior and left far lateral disc bulge with peridiscal osteophytes is noted at the L3-L4 level with slight left neural foraminal narrowing.

The lumbar vertebral bodies and the remaining intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.



The conus medullaris terminates at the L2 level and the thecal sac terminates at the S2 level.

The antero-posterior dimensions of the lumbar canal at the level of the intervertebral discs are as follows :

15.0 mm at L1-L2
18.0 mm at L2-L3
15.0 mm at L3-L4
11.0 mm at L4-L5
11.0 mm at L5-S1.

IMPRESSION :

Date : 00.00.00

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyza lmn / M / 65 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O altered sensorium with inability to speak and loss of bladder/bowel control since 3-4 months.
H/O depression prior to this.

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.

3 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :

There are ill-defined hyperintense areas on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in the periventricular white matter bilaterally predominantly in the fronto-parietal regions and in the centrum semiovale. These lesions appear hypointense on the T1 Weighted images and most likely represent ischemic changes.

The colliculi appear unremarkable.

There is mild dilatation of both the lateral, third and the fourth ventricles. There is prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci (especially in both frontal and temporal lobes) and cerebellar folia and basal cisternal spaces bilaterally.

There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.



There is seen an approximately 1.5 x 0.9 x 1.7 cms diameter sized well-defined, intermediate signal intensity lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the CSF space (intradural lesion) to the left of the midline, anteriorly at the C1-C2 level. This lesion appears relatively hypointense on the proton and T2 Weighted images. Mild indentation on the cervico-medullary junction is noted.

IMPRESSION :

1. Altered signal in the periventricular white matter bilaterally predominantly in the fronto-parietal regions and in the centrum semiovale most likely represent ischemic changes.

2. An approximately 1.5 x 0.9 x 1.7 cms diameter sized well-defined, lesion in the CSF space (intradural lesion) to the left of the midline, anteriorly at the C1-C2 level is not specific for a single etiology. A meningioma or a nerve sheath tumor are likely possibilities. The possibility of this lesion being a vascular lesion in relation to the left vertebral artery seems less likely.

A contrast enhanced scan would be worthwhile.

3. Mild cerebral and cerebellar atrophy.

Date : 00.00.00

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Lokhlmn / M / 55 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzrankar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Dorso-lumbar Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O backache since 15 days.
Patient jumped from a height 15 days back.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the dorso-lumbar 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 wedging of the D9 and D11 vertebral bodies. The D9 vertebral body and the superior half of the D11 vertebral body show an ill-defined hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images which appears heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. Some of these areas are seen to remain hypointense on all the pulse sequences in the D9 vertebra anteriorly and would represent compressed trabeculae. The adjacent intervertebral discs are unremarkable, though there is a suspicious break of the superior cortical endplate of D11. Slight bulge of the posterior margin of the D9 body is noted, indenting the dural theca anteriorly.

The rest of the visualized dorso-lumbar vertebral bodies show spotty fatty marrow changes.

The facet joints and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.

The visualized dorso-lumbar spinal cord reveals normal signal intensity. There is no cord compression.

The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level.

IMPRESSION :

Wedging of the D9 and D11 vertebral bodies with altered signal as described, represents compression fractures of the vertebral bodies with bone bruise/edema in the given clinical setting.

Date : 00.00.00

Name of the Patient : Abc XyzMalmn / M / 32 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzmpat.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O generalized tonic/clonic convulsion on 00.00.00 at 4.00 pm with loss of consciousness since then.

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 and Fast Scan (T2 *) coronal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :

There is an ill-defined, hyperintense signal on the proton, T2 Weighted, FLAIR and Fast Scan (T2 *) images along the cortex in the left temporo-parieto-occipital region. This lesion appears hypointense to normal grey matter on the T1 Weighted images and represents a recent ischemic insult. On the Fast Scan (T2 *) images there are some areas which appear significantly hypointense, suggesting acute haemorrhage within the lesion. There is sulcal space effacement, compression of the left lateral and third ventricles and shift of the midline structures to the right. There is also transtentorial herniation of the left medial temporal pole, distortion of the upper brainstem axis and effacement of the suprasellar and ambient cisterns. A small, left fronto-parietal subdural effusion is also noted. The sulcal/gyral differentiation in the right cerebral hemisphere is also not well appreciated.

The fourth ventricle is normal.


The left internal carotid artery appears smaller in calibre as compared to the opposite side.

Inflammatory changes are noted in the right maxillary antrum.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features suggest a fairly large, left temporo-parieto- occipital haemorrhagic infarct with mass effect as described.

Date : 00.00.00

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzlmn / F / 51 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. - Brain (Post-contrast Study).

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O speech disturbance since 3-4 months.
Known hypertensive.

EXAMINATION :

After administration of contrast the following parameters were used :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted axial, coronal and sagittal images with magnetization transfer.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted axial images (with fat saturation).

The cervical spine was screened with 5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal and axial images (with fat saturation).

OBSERVATION :

After administration of contrast, there is enhancement of the previously described plaque like lesion. This lesion is seen to extend along the posterior margin of the clivus upto the C3 vertebral level. The lesion is most likely an epidural lesion. Minimal indentation on the cervico-medullary junction and on the anterior dural theca at the C2 and C3 vertebral levels is noted.

Artifacts due to dentures are noted.

There is no other focal area of abnormal enhancement within the brain parenchyma or along the meninges.

The previous differential diagnosis are still valid.

Please let us have the follow-up.
