OBSERVATION :
There is seen a discontinuity in the subcutaneous fat at the lumbo-sacral junction.
There is seen an open lumbo-sacral canal extending from the L5 vertebral level distally. There is seen a CSF signal intensity lesion on all the pulse sequences in the posterior soft tissues in the lumbo-sacral junction extending from the L5 to the S4 vertebral levels. This lesion is in continuity with the thecal sac and represents a meningocele sac. The tip of the spinal cord is seen to extend into this meningocele sac and is probably tethered to it. There is no evidence of an intradural lipoma on this study. The tip of the spinal cord is seen at the S1-S2 level.
The lumbar vertebral bodies and the intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.

10 mm thick T1 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) axial images.
OBSERVATION :
There is slight loss of water content of the cervical intervertebral discs.
The cervico-dorsal spinal cord appears slightly larger in diameter. There is a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images in the cervico-dorsal spinal cord, centrally, extending over the C2 vertebral level upto the conus medullaris.

Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O seizures.
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, T2 Weighted and STIR coronal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is a small, CSF signal intensity lesion on all the pulse sequences along the lateral aspect of the roof of the left orbit (scans 102.7 and 104.7). This most likely is partial volume averaging with the CSF space in that region (best appreciated on the STIR coronal images).
There is seen a very small, extra-axial, CSF intensity lesion on all the pulse sequences in the right anterior temporal region. This may represent a prominent sulcal space/arachnoid cyst.
There is no focal area of altered signal intensity in the brain parenchyma per se.
The hippocampal complex is unremarkable on either side.
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.

Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O headaches since 6-7 months.
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 coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
MR cisternogram was obtained in the sagittal plane.
OBSERVATION :
There is seen a fairly large, approximately 5.8 x 4.2 x 3.8 cms sized well-defined mass lesion in the right cerebellar hemisphere. This lesion follows CSF signal on all the pulse sequences. This lesion is not in communication with the fourth ventricle or the cerebellar cisterns. There is resultant compression of the fourth ventricle, aqueduct and brainstem which is displaced slightly to the left. There is also cerebellar tonsillar herniation through the foramen magnum. There is mild to moderate dilatation of both the lateral and third ventricles with slight periventricular white matter hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images suggesting periventricular CSF ooze. Effacement of the cortical sulcal spaces in the cerebral hemispheres, bilaterally, is noted.
The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.
Inflammatory changes are noted in the ethmoidal air cells bilaterally.
IMPRESSION :
A fairly large, approximately 5.8 x 4.2 x 3.8 cms sized mass lesion in the right cerebellar hemisphere as described, is not specific for a single etiology. A cystic astrocytoma or a hemangioblastoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis. There is mild to moderate obstructive hydrocephalus.
A contrast enhanced scan may be worthwhile.

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 coronal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is seen a CSF intensity lesion on all the pulse sequences in the right temporo-parietal region. This lesion represents an area of cystic encephalomalacia. Resultant volume loss is noted in this region.
An ill-defined hyperintense signal on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in the periventricular white matter in the right posterior parietal region (scans 105.4-7).
There is mild fullness of both the lateral ventricles. The third and the fourth ventricles are normal. There is slight prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci, cerebellar folia and the basal cisternal spaces bilaterally. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.
IMPRESSION :
1. An area of cystic encephalomalacia in the right temporo-parietal region, most likely the sequelae of a previous vascular insult.
2. Altered signal in the periventricular white matter in the right posterior parietal region most likely represents a gliotic/ischemic lesion.
