Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Lolmn / F / 22 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzhtekar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache radiating to BLE (left more than right) since 1 year.
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.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted coronal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is replacement of the normal marrow of the L4 and the L5 vertebral bodies by hypointense areas on the T1 Weighted images. These are seen to turn heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. Subtle altered signal is also seen in the anterior and superior portion of the S1 vertebral body. There is breach in the cortical endplates of the L5 vertebra and the inferior cortical endplate of the L4 vertebral body with involvement of the L4-L5 and L5-S1 intervertebral discs. There is soft tissue encroachment into the L4-L5 neural foramina bilaterally and the L5-S1 neural foramina on the right side with encasement of the exiting nerve roots. There is slight prevertebral soft tissue extension over the L4 to S1 levels. The right psoas muscle is involved by the pathology extending over the L3-L4 disc to iliac levels which appears bulky and shows intermediate signal intensity on the T1 Weighted images and turns hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. Left paravertebral soft tissue extension is noted over the L3 to S1 levels.
The rest of the lumbar vertebral bodies and the remaining intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints are unremarkable.
The conus medullaris terminates at the D12-L1 level and the thecal sac terminates at the S1 level.
The antero-posterior dimensions of the lumbar canal at the level of the intervertebral discs are as follows :
16.0 mm at L1-L2
16.0 mm at L2-L3
14.0 mm at L3-L4
12.0 mm at L4-L5
14.0 mm at L5-S1.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of altered signal of the L4 and L5 vertebrae and the L4-L5 and L5-S1 intervertebral discs with extensions as described and most probably represents a granulomatous infective process like tuberculosis. A large right psoas abscess is noted as described.
The possibility of a neoplastic process is less likely.

Cruciate Ligaments :
The anterior cruciate ligament appears slightly ill-defined and shows a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted and GRASS images, more towards its tibial attachment which suggests a strain/partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament.

Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzdar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
H/O seizures since 8 years.
H/O seizure and subsequent fall from a height of 1st floor, 10 days back.
H/O bifrontal craniotomy with drainage of large extradural hematoma done on 00.00.00.
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 6 mm thick T1 Weighted coronal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is evidence of a bifrontal craniotomy with post-operative changes in the subgaleal soft tissues in that region.
There is still seen an epidural hematoma overlying the left cerebral hemisphere with a maximum width of about 5.0 mms. This lesion is hyperintense on the T1 Weighted images but relatively hypointense on the T2 Weighted images suggesting early subacute blood. At the vertex, this epidural hematoma is seen to extend slightly to the right of the midline and lies between the skull vault and the superior sagittal sinus. The superior sagittal sinus however shows normal flow void signal on the spin-echo pulse sequences. Slight effacement of the cortical sulcal spaces in the left cerebral convexity is noted. Minimal haemorrhage is seen to extend into the anterior interhemispheric fissure.
There is an ill-defined, hyperintense signal on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images along the left temporal cortex. This lesion appears relatively hypointense to normal grey matter on the T1 Weighted images. Ill-defined, hyperintense signal on all the pulse sequences is also noted within this lesion which suggest late subacute haemorrhage.
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.
An undisplaced fracture of the left parietal bone is noted.
Inflammatory changes are noted in the left mastoid air cells.
IMPRESSION :
1. Post-operative status.
2. An epidural hematoma overlying the left cerebral hemisphere with a maximum width of about 5.0 mms.
3. A left temporal cortical haemorrhagic contusion.
4. Fracture of the left parietal bone.
As compared to the previous CT Scan dated 00.00.00, there is decrease in the size of the frontal epidural hematoma and decrease in the mass effect.

Minimal haemorrhage is seen to extend into the anterior interhemispheric fissure.
There is an ill-defined, hyperintense signal on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images along the left temporal cortex. This lesion appears relatively hypointense to normal grey matter on the T1 Weighted images. Ill-defined, hyperintense signal on all the pulse sequences is also noted within this lesion which suggest late subacute haemorrhage.
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.
An undisplaced fracture of the left parietal bone is noted.
Inflammatory changes are noted in the left mastoid air cells.
IMPRESSION :
1. Post-operative status.
2. An epidural hematoma overlying the left cerebral hemisphere with a maximum width of about 5.0 mms.
3. A left temporal cortical haemorrhagic contusion.
4. Fracture of the left parietal bone.
As compared to the previous CT Scan dated 00.00.00, there is decrease in the size of the frontal epidural hematoma and decrease in the mass effect.

Examination : M.R.I. of the Right Parotid Gland.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O swelling in the region of the right parotid gland since 10 years.
FNAC s/o salivary gland neoplasm favouring mixed salivary gland tumor (Pleomorphic Adenoma).
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the right parotid gland was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is seen a well-defined, approximately 2.1 x 2.8 x 3.1 cms sized intermediate signal intensity mass lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the superficial lobe of the right parotid gland, anteriorly, anterior to the posterior margin of the ramus of the mandible. This lesion appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and STIR images. Resultant slight indentation on the postero-lateral margin of the right masseter muscle is noted with effacement of the retro-mandibular vein.
There is seen another, approximately 0.9 x 2.0 x 1.1 cms sized hyperintense lesion on the T2 Weighted and STIR images in the right medial pterygoid muscle. This lesion is isointense to normal muscle on the T1 Weighted images and is separate from the deep lobe of the right parotid gland. This lesion is also outside the right parapharyngeal space.
Small, subcentimeter lymph nodes are noted deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscles on either side.
Inflammatory changes are noted in the maxillary sinuses and ethmoidal air cells bilaterally.
The submandibular glands, left parotid gland and the visualized lobes of the thyroid gland are unremarkable. The parapharyngeal spaces and the prevertebral space also appear normal. The visualized carotid sheaths also appear unremarkable. No obvious bone erosion or destruction is seen.
IMPRESSION :
1. An approximately 2.1 x 2.8 x 3.1 cms sized mass lesion in the superficial lobe of the right parotid gland, anteriorly, anterior to the posterior margin of the ramus of the mandible as described represents a parotid gland tumor (HP s/o Pleomorphic adenoma).
2. Another, approximately 0.9 x 2.0 x 1.1 cms sized mass lesion in the right medial pterygoid muscle which is separate from the deep lobe of the right parotid gland is not specific for a single etiology. This most likely represents a hematoma/inflammatory lesion due to previous biopsy. The possibility of another salivary gland tumor arising from cell-rests seems less likely.
