There is mild dilatation of both the lateral ventricles. The third and the fourth ventricles are normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures.
INTRACRANIAL MRA :
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 posterior cerebral arteries also show normal signal, calibre and wall margins. No obvious aneurysm or vascular malformation is identified.

1. A large postero-central disc herniation with peridiscal osteophytes at the C4-C5 level.
2. Postero-central disc herniations at the C2-C3 and C3-C4 levels.
3. Posterior disc herniations with peridiscal osteophytes at the C5-C6 and C6-C7 levels.
4. Mild ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament in the cervical region, more so over the C1 to C4 vertebral levels.

Name of the Patient : Abc XyzPardlmn / F / 17 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzauhan.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervico-dorsal Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
H/O backache with fever since 1 1/2 months.
H/O fall 2 days back with weakness of BLE since then.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the cervico-dorsal spine was performed using the following parameters :
4 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 D2 vertebral body and partial collapse of the D1 vertebral body. There is overiding of the D1 over the D2 vertebra. The D1-D2 and D2-D3 intervertebral discs are not well-defined.
The D1, D2 and D3 vertebral bodies show an ill-defined hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images which appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. The posterior elements of D2 and D3 vertebrae seem to be involved. There is an intermediate signal intensity soft tissue lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the prevertebral and paravertebral regions extending over D1 to D3 vertebral levels. This lesion appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. There is extension of the soft tissue lesion into the epidural spaces circumferentially over the D1 to D3 vertebral levels with resultant cord compression. The cervical spinal cord over these levels shows a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images, suggesting cord edema/ischemia. Involvement of the costo-vertebral joints at D1 and D2 levels is noted.
The rest of the visualized cervico-dorsal vertebral bodies and the intervertebral discs show normal signal intensity.
The facet joints are unremarkable.
Multiple mediastinal lymphnodes are noted.
IMPRESSION :
Near complete collapse of the D2 vertebral body and partial collapse of the D1 vertebral body with altered signal of the D1, D2 and D3 vertebrae and involvement of the D1-D2 and D2-D3 intervrtebral discs as described most likely represents osteitis with discitis probably tuberculous in etiology. Prevertebral and paravertebral soft tissue lesion may represent an abscess. There is resultant cord compression and cord signal alteration over D1 to D3 vertebral levels suggesting cord edema/ischemia.
The possibility of above described lesion representing a neoplasm seems less likely.

Examination : M.R.I. of the Left Shoulder.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O pain in the left shoulder region with inability to lift the LUE since 2-3 months.
EXAMINATION :

OBSERVATION :
Subtle hyperintense signal is seen on the T2 Weighted images in the distal portion of the supraspinatus tendon.
Few hypointense foci on the T1 Weighted images which turn hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and GRASS images are seen within the head of the left humerus and may represent cystic changes.
Hypointense areas on the T1 Weighted images which turn hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and GRASS images are seen within the left shoulder joint space, subscapularis bursa and along the tendon of the long head of the biceps within the bicipital groove and this may represent fluid. A very small amount of fluid is seen within the subacromial bursa.
The visualized upper shaft of the left humerus shows normal signal intensity. The visualized scapula appears normal. The glenoid labrum is unremarkable.
The articular cartilage of the head of the left humerus appears normal.
The acromio-clavicular joint is normal.
An enlarged lymphnode is seen in the left axilla.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of :
1. Altered signal within the distal portion of the supraspinatus tendon may suggest tendinosis.
2. Fluid/effusion within the left shoulder joint space, subscapularis bursa and along the tendon of the long head of the biceps within the bicipital groove and within the subacromial bursa.

Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O right sided trigeminal neuralgia.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the brain was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted, proton and T2 Weighted axial images.
3 mm thick T1 Weighted coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
A limited MRA sequence was obtained through the midbrain.
OBSERVATION :
A large vascular loop (ectatic basilar artery) is seen to indent the right ventral aspect of the pons and deform the cisternal component of the right trigeminal nerve. Also seen is indentation upon the root entry zone of the right trigeminal nerve (scans 105.6 to 105.8, 102.6-7, 665.6-7).
Small areas of hyperintensity on the proton and T2 Weighted images are seen within the white matter in the fronto-parietal lobes bilaterally. These are iso to hypointense to normal white matter on the T1 Weighted images and are most likely ischemic in etiology.
There is mild prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci and cerebellar folia bilaterally. There is fullness of both the lateral ventricles.

Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache with pain radiating to BLE and paresthesias.
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 :
The L4 vertebral body is decreased in height and is seen to bulge posteriorly with indentation upon the thecal sac. It shows areas of hypointensity on the T1 Weighted images, a few of which turn mildly hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. Few linear hypointensities on all the pulse sequences are also seen within this vertebral body and these may represent compressed trabeculae. There is erosion of the inferior cortical endplate with involvement of the L4-L5 intervertebral disc. The intranuclear cleft is not clearly identified. Few areas with similar signal characteristics are seen to involve the L5 vertebral body.
There is extension of this pathologic process into the anterior epidural space and paravertebral soft tissues over the L3-L4 to L4-L5 levels. Also seen is encroachment into the L4-L5 neural foramina with encasement of the exiting L4 nerve roots bilaterally.
The L4-L5 facet joints show degenerative changes.
The rest of the lumbar intervertebral discs show loss of water content.
The rest of the lumbar vertebral bodies reveal normal signal intensity. The remaining facet joints and the visualized prevertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level and the thecal sac terminates at the S1-S2 level.
Screening of the dorsal spine reveals no significant feature of note.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of a pathologic process involving the L4 and L5 vertebrae and the L4-L5 intervertebral disc as described. This may represent an infective process like tuberculosis.
The possibility of this being a neoplastic process seems less likely.
