After administration of contrast, the following parameters were used.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted coronal and axial images with magnetization transfer.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
After administration of contrast, there is patchy enhancement of the lesions in the left posterior parietal parafalcine region, left high frontal region and in the right frontal region. There is no significant enhancement of the lesion along the left medial temporal cortex.
There is no other focal area of abnormal enhancement in the brain parenchyma or along the meninges.

Enhancing lesions in the left posterior parietal parafalcine region, left high frontal region and in the right frontal region and a non-enhancing lesion along the left medial temporal

M.R.I of the dorso-lumbar spine was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :
There is an open spinal canal posteriorly at the L3 vertebral level.
There is a soft tissue intermediate signal intensity lesion measuring approximately 3.5 x 1.5 x 1.2 cms located over the surface of the posterior back and extending over the D12 to the L4 vertebral levels. This mass is seen to follow CSF signal intensity on all the pulse sequences and represents a meningocele. There is a continuation of this mass with the thecal sac at the L3 vertebral level. The spinal cord is seen to be low lying with the spinal cord ending at the S1 to S3 vertebral levels. There is tethering of the spinal cord to a lipoma at this level.
