Name of the Patient : Abc XyzNalmn / M / 72 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : Intracranial and Neck M.R.A.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O left sided headaches, intermittent weakness, paresthesias in the LUE and BLE and sudden onset of arrest of speech for 1-2 hours since 2 months.
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 :
A well-defined, area which is near isointense to CSF on the T2 Weighted images is seen within the left lentiform nucleus and extends into the left corona radiata. This would represent a lacunar infarct. A smaller lacunar infarct is noted within the left occipital lobe and left centrum semiovale. There is ex-vacuo dilatation of the left lateral ventricle.
Posterior parietal periventricular white matter ischemic lesions are noted bilaterally.
There is marked prominence of the left Sylvian fissure and cerebral cortical spaces in the left temporal lobe which would suggest volume loss, probably the result of a previous vascular insult.
There is prominence of the right Sylvian fissure, cerebellar folia, cerebral cortical sulcal spaces and basal cisternal spaces. Also seen is mild fullness of the third and the right lateral ventricles.
There is no shift of the midline structures.
INTRACRANIAL MRA :
The calibre of the left internal carotid artery is seen to be slightly smaller from its origin as compared to the opposite side.

A very small segment of the proximal portion of the M1 segment of the left middle cerebral artery is visualized. The rest of the left middle cerebral artery is not seen.
Attenuated flow signal is seen within the left vertebral artery, distally. This may represent retrograde flow as the rest of the left vertebral artery from its origin is not identified.
The left posterior cerebral artery is not well-visualized. The right posterior cerebral artery and the posterior communicating arteries are slightly prominent.
The anterior cerebral arteries, basilar artery, carotid bifurcation, the right internal carotid artery,
right vertebral artery and both common carotid arteries are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI/MRA features are suggestive of :
1. Lacunar infarcts within the left lentiform nucleus extending into the left corona radiata, the left occipital lobe and left centrum semiovale.
2. Marked prominence of the left Sylvian fissure and cerebral cortical sulcal spaces
in the left temporal lobe. This would represent volume loss, most likely the result of a previous vascular insult.
3. Non-visualization of the distal left middle cerebral and left vertebral arteries and the left posterior cerebral artery.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Shlmn / F / 38 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzdi.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Pelvis.
LINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache radiating to the LLE since December 0000 which has increased since 2-3 days with fever.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the pelvis was performed using the following parameters :
6 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (fat saturation) axial images.
6 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.
The lumbo-sacral spine was scanned with 5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
Irregularly defined areas of hypointensity on the T1 Weighted images which turn hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and STIR images are seen to involve the left sacral ala and the lower sacral bodies. This lesion is seen to occupy the spinal canal from the L5-S1 level downwards. Also seen is extension into the left paraspinal muscles from the L5 vertebral level downwards. There is extension of this pathologic process into the left piriformis muscle and left gluteal muscles with probable encasement of the left sciatic nerve. Also seen is probable involvement of the right coccygeus muscle and ischio femoral ligament on the left side. There is a well-defined lesion in the region of the right piriformis muscle which appears hypointense on the T1 Weighted images with a hyperintense rim and turns hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images with a hypointense rim and is most likely an abscess. There is also suspicious involvement of the right superior gemellus muscle.
Follicles are seen within both the ovaries.
The urinary bladder appears normal.

The ischio-rectal fossae on either side appear normal.
There are no abnormally enlarged pelvic lymph nodes identified. No obvious vascular anomaly is noted. There is no free fluid in the pelvis.
Screening of the lumbar spine shows no feature of note.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of a pathologic process involving the sacrum and
the left piriformis muscle and left gluteus muscles as described. This most likely represents an infective process (? tuberculosis). A probable abscess is identified in the region of the left piriformis muscle.
The possibility of this being a neoplastic process is less likely.

Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzrankar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache radiating to the RLE with numbness in BLE since 15 days.
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 L3 and L4 vertebral bodies and pedicles appear hypointense on the T1 Weighted images and heterogeneously hyperintense on the T1 Weighted images. The L3-L4 intervertebral disc is also involved and appears hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images.
There is breach in the inferior cortical endplate of the L3 and superior cortical endplate of L4.
There is seen a prevertebral, paravertebral and anterior epidural intermediate signal intensity lesion on the T1 Weighted images at the L3 and L4 vertebral levels which also appear hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. Resultant slight compression of the thecal sac at the L3-L4 level and also encroachment into the right L3-L4 neural foramen is noted with encasement of the right L3 nerve root.
A posterior and left far lateral disc bulge is noted at the L5-S1 level with indentation on the extraforaminal segment of the left L5 nerve root.
A small posterior disc bulge is noted at the L4-L5 level. Slight facetal hypertrophy is noted at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.

The antero-posterior dimensions of the lumbar canal at the level of the intervertebral discs are as follows :
17.0 mm at L1-L2
16.0 mm at L2-L3
9.0 mm at L3-L4
13.0 mm at L4-L5
11.0 mm at L5-S1.
Incidentally noted is erosion of the left iliac crest with a soft tissue lesion in that region.
Screening T1 Weighted sagittal images of the dorsal spine reveal fatty marrow changes of the dorsal vertebrae suggesting osteoporotic changes.
IMPRESSION :
Altered signal of the L3 and L4 vertebral bodies and pedicles with involvement of the L3-L4 intervertebral disc most likely represents osteitis with discitis, probably tuberculous in etiology. Prevertebral, paravertebral and anterior epidural soft tissue lesions at these levels most likely represents granulation tissue.
The possibility of a neoplasm like a round cell tumor is less likely.
Erosion of left iliac crest with a soft tissue lesion in that region may represent
another tuberculous focus.

M.R.I of the dorso-lumbar spine was performed using the following parameters :

6 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.
OBSERVATION :
The D11 vertebra appears to be as marked on the film.
There is collapse of the D10 vertebral body with slight anterior wedging.
There is replacement of the normal marrow of the D9 and D10 vertebral bodies by hypointense areas on the T1 Weighted images. These are seen to turn heterogeneously hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images. The pedicles of these vertebrae are also involved by the pathology. The superior and inferior cortical endplates of the D10 vertebral body and the inferior cortical endplate of the D9 vertebra are breached with involvement of the D9-D10 intervertebral disc.

Anterior epidural extension is also noted at this level with encroachment into the D9-D10 neural foramina bilaterally and encasement of the exiting nerve roots.

The MRI features are suggestive of altered signal of the D9 and D10 vertebrae and D9-D10 intervertebral disc with soft tissue extensions as described and cord signal alteration at these levels represent cord edema/ischemia/myelitis. These features are not specific for a single etiology. This may represent an infective process like tuberculosis. The possibility of this being a neoplastic process like a small cell tumor or metastasis is less likely.
