Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Jethalmn / M / 42 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzandel.
Examination : Intracranial and Neck M.R.A.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O headaches (frontal and left sided) since 1 1/2 years with decreased hearing on the left side.
EXAMINATION :
The brain was screened with 5 mm thick T2 Weighted axial images.
Intracranial and neck MRA were performed with 3D TOF and 2D TOF sequences, respectively.
OBSERVATION :
There are multiple, serpiginous and punctate hypointense areas in the left parafalcine frontal region on all the pulse sequences and would represent a vascular malformation. This lesion appears to be fed by the anterior cerebral artery which is prominent. A large draining vein is seen at its superior aspect and draining into the anterior portion of the superior sagittal sinus. There is suggestion of an aneurysmal dilatation of a vessel which measures approximately 2.2 cms in diameter. There is mild surrounding edema with mass effect and mild indentation on the frontal horn of the left lateral ventricle.
The right lateral, third and the fourth ventricles are normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures.
INTRACRANIAL MRA :
The anterior cerebral arteries appear prominent and are seen to feed the vascular malformation. A large draining vein is seen to join the anterior portion of the superior sagittal sinus. A twig from the left anterior cerebral artery is seen to be adjacent to the previously mentioned aneurysmal dilatation of a vessel.
- 2 - Scan-00004
The petrous, cavernous and supraclinoid segments of the internal carotid arteries bilaterally show normal signal and calibre. The visualized basilar, vertebral, middle and posterior cerebral arteries also show normal signal, calibre and wall margins.
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 a vascular malformation in the left frontal region as described. This would represent an arterio-venous malformation with aneurysmal dilatation of a vessel.

SOME IMAGES SHOW PATIENT MOTION.
OBSERVATION :
There is seen an approximately 0.9 cms diameter sized well-marginated, iso to hypointense lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the left cerebellar hemisphere, just adjacent to the midline. This lesion appears relatively hypointense on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images. Perilesional hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted and FLAIR images may represent edema. Similar signal intensity lesions are noted in the left cerebellar hemisphere adjacent to the left perimedullary cistern.
There is a small bright focus on the proton and T2 Weighted images in the left parietal deep white matter which is most likely partial volume averaging with the tip of a sulcus (? ischemic focus ? small granuloma).
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.
Inflammatory changes are noted in the maxillary sinuses, sphenoid sinus and ethmoidal air cells bilaterally.
IMPRESSION :
Altered signal intensity lesions in the left cerebellar hemisphere, just adjacent to the midline and along the left perimedullary cistern as described, most likely represents granulomas following the signal characteristics of tuberculomas.

M.R.I of the brain and orbits was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted, proton and T2 Weighted axial images.
5 mm thick FLAIR coronal images.
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.
OBSERVATION :
Areas of intermediate signal intensity on the T1 Weighted and STIR images are noted within the superior orbital fissure and optic canal on the left side. The extraoccular muscles of the left orbit are seen to be bulky and slightly hyperintense on the STIR imags as compared to the opposite side. Note is made of proptosis on the left side.
Areas of hypointensity on the T1 Weighted images which turn hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and STIR images are seen within the left maxillary sinus and the ethmoidal air cells and sphenoid sinus on the left side. Areas of similar signal intensity are seen to involve the left infratemporal fossa. Mild inflammatory changes are noted in the frontal sinus and the mastoid air cells bilaterally.

The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of :
1. A lesion within the left superior orbital fissure and optic canal with bulky extraoccular muscles on the left side as described most likely represents an infective pathology.
2. Inflammatory changes within the left maxillary sinus and the ethmoidal air cells and sphenoid sinus on the left side and
in the left infratemporal fossa and mild inflammatory changes in the frontal sinus and the mastoid air cells bilaterally.
In the given clinical setting of diabetis, a fungal infective etiology like mucormycosis should be excluded.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) axial images.
OBSERVATION :
There is mild loss of normal cervical lordotic curve.
There is evidence of a soft tissue lesion within the posterior and right lateral epidural space over the C2 to C7 vertebral levels. This lesion is hyperintense to muscle but hypointense to fat on the T1 Weighted images and turns hyperintense to both on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images.
There is erosion of the right lamina and spinous processes of the C4 vertebra with altered signal of the C3, C5 and C6 vertebrae and extension into the right paraspinal soft tissues over these levels.
