Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzwant.
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.
MR Cisternogram was obtained in the coronal plane.
A limited MRA (source images) was obtained through the region of interest.
OBSERVATION :
There is no focal area of altered signal intensity in the brain parenchyma.
Small vascular loops are seen adjacent to the cisternal component of both the trigeminal nerves. However they are not seen to deform the same.
There is mild fullness of the third and both the lateral ventricles. Also seen is mild prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci and cerebellar folia bilaterally.
The fourth ventricle is normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures.
Inflammatory changes are seen within the frontal sinus and right ethmoidal air cells. The nasal septum is deviated to the left side.
The left intraocular lens is not seen, probably a result of previous surgery.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of small vascular loops adjacent to the cisternal component of both trigeminal nerves.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzmmed Nlmn / M / 5 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzdar.
Examination : Intracranial MR Venogram.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O seizures since 2 years.
H/O right sided hemiparesis 2 years back.
H/O fever prior to this.
EXAMINATION :
The brain was screened with the help of 5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images and T2 Weighted axial images.
MRV was performed using a 2D TOF technique.
OBSERVATION :
There is volume loss of the left cerebral hemisphere. There is an ill-defined, hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images along the cortex and subcortical white matter of the left cerebral hemisphere (sparing the basal ganglia). This lesion appears hypointense on the T1 Weighted images. Resultant mild to moderate dilatation of the left lateral ventricle is noted. The left cerebral peduncle is also atrophied and a focal hyperintense signal is noted in the left thalamus and in the pons on the left, anteriorly (? due to Wallerian degeneration). Mild pull of the midline to the left is noted. The posterior body and splenium of the corpus callosum appears thin.
Mild dilatation of the right lateral, third and fourth ventricles is also noted.
The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable.
INTRACRANIAL MRV :
There is slight attenuation of the superficial cortical veins overlying the left cerebral hemisphere. The superior sagittal sinus, transverse and sigmoid sinuses, internal cerebral veins, vein of Galen and the straight sinus show normal flow signal.
No obvious venous sinus thrombosis is evident on this scan.
IMPRESSION :
1. Altered signal in the left cerebral hemisphere as described, most likely represents an old ischemic lesion.
2. Except for slight attenuation of the superfical cortical veins overlying the left cerebral convexity, no significant abnormality is detected on the Intracranial MR Venogram, on this study.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyza Jalmn / F / 23 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
H/O high grade fever for 2-3 days with weakness of BLE 3 months back. Weakness still persists.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the cervical spine was performed using the following parameters :
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) axial images.
OBSERVATION :
There are ill-defined hyperintense areas on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images within the cervical spinal cord involving the anterior and lateral columns, bilaterally. These are iso to hypointense to normal cord on the T1 Weighted images. Similar areas are also seen to involve the cervico-medullary junction.
A small posterior disc bulge is noted at the C4-C5 level with mild anterior indentation of the thecal sac. The cervical intervertebral discs show loss of water content.
The cervical vertebral bodies show normal signal intensity. The joints of Luschka and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
The atlanto-axial region is unremarkable.
The dorsal spine was screened with 4 mm thick T2 Weighted sagittal images and shows altered signal in the lower dorsal spinal cord and conus medullaris.
The brain was screened with 5 mm thick T2 Weighted axial images and 3 mm thick STIR coronal images. Hyperintense areas are noted on the T2 Weighted images within the medulla and pons and left cerebral peduncle. The optic nerves show a subtle hyperintense signal on the STIR images.
IMPRESSION :
Altered signal within the cervical spinal cord, cervico-medullary junction, medulla, pons and the left cerebral peduncle and the lower dorsal cord most likely represents demyelinating lesions. The optic nerves also show subtle altered signal.
The possibility of these lesions being due to ischemia/infarction seems less likely.

M.R.I of the cervical spine was performed using the following parameters :
4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) axial images.
OBSERVATION :
There is a large posterior disc herniation at the C6-C7 level with anterior compression of the spinal cord. The spinal cord at this level shows a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images. This is isointense to normal cord on the T1 Weighted images suggestive of cord edema/ischemia.
A small postero-central disc herniation is seen at the C7-D1 level with anterior indentation of the thecal sac. The cervical intervertebral discs show loss of water content.
Small, postero-central protruded discs with peridiscal osteophytes are noted at the C2-C3, C3-C4 and C4-C5 levels.
The cervical vertebral bodies show normal signal intensity. The joints of Luschka and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
The atlanto-axial region and the cervico-medullary junction are unremarkable. The clivus appears more horizontally oriented as compared to normal.
