Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O right hemiplegia since 5 days and fever (since 1 day) with ? seizure.
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 T1 Weighted sagittal images.
After administration of contrast the following parameters were used :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is evidence of a large irregularly defined space occupying lesion within the basal ganglia on the left side. This lesion is iso to hypointense to gray matter on all the pulse sequences. Patchy hypointense areas are seen within this lesion on the T1 Weighted images which turn hyperintense on the T2 Weighted images and are suggestive of necrotic areas. After contrast administration, this lesion shows intense enhancement with a whorl like pattern. Also seen are areas of hypointensity on the T1 Weighted images which turn hyperintense on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images adjacent to this lesion and would

represent perilesional edema. This edema is seen to extend into the left fronto-temporo-parietal lobes, left cerebral peduncle and the pons. There is resultant compression upon the third and the left lateral ventricles with a shift of the midline to the right side. Also seen is effacement of the left perimesencephalic cistern and left Sylvian fissure. There is evidence of left uncal herniation and compression upon the left cerebral peduncle.
A smaller similar lesion with perilesional edema is noted along the gyri in the right frontal lobe.

The fourth ventricle is normal.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of space occupying lesions in the left basal ganglia and right frontal lobe with mass effect and contrast enhancement as described. This is not specific for a single diagnosis. This most likely represents an infective process like tuberculosis.
This is less likely to represent a neoplastic process like multicentric glioma or metastasis.

The clivus is placed horizontally.
There are small posterior disc herniations with posterior peridiscal osteophytes at the C4-C5, C5-C6 and C6-C7 levels.
Small posterior disc herniations are also noted at the C2-C3 and C3-C4 levels. 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 spinal cord appears to be of slightly smaller in calibre as compared to normal.
A small posterior disc herniation with peridiscal osteophytes is noted at the D11-D12 level.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of :
1. Chiari malformation.

CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O backache radiating to BLE with paresthesias since 3-4 years.
H/O fall 15-20 days back with weakness of BLE (left more than right).
H/O cervical lymphadenopathy since 6 months. On AKT since then.
H/O Pulmonary kochs 25 years ago. Received AKT.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of the dorso-lumbar spine was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.
7 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted axial images.
The lumbar spine was screened with 5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images and 5 mm thick T2 Weighted axial images.
SOME IMAGES SHOW MOTION ARTIFACTS.
OBSERVATION :
The D9 and D10 vertebral bodies show an ill-defined, hypointense signal on the T1 Weighted images which remains hypointense on the T2 Weighted images. Slight irregularity of the cortical endplates adjacent to the D9-D10 intervertebral disc is noted. A posterior peridiscal osteophyte is noted at the D9-D10 level, indenting the dorsal spinal cord at that level. There is also facetal hypertrophy and resultant canal stenosis at this level. The D9 nerve roots are impinged in the neural foramen at the D9-D10 level bilaterally. The dorsal spinal cord at this level shows a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted images which suggest cord edema/contusion/ischemia.
Minimal left paravertebral soft tissue lesion is noted at the D9-D10 and D10-D11 levels which is hypointense on all the pulse sequences.
The rest of the visualized dorso-lumbar vertebral bodies show spotty fatty marrow changes which suggest osteoporotic changes. The D11 vertebral body is reduced in height. The visualized dorso-lumbar intervertebral discs show loss of water content. The facet joints and the visualized prevertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.
The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level.
Screening images of the lumbo-sacral spine reveal reduction in height of the L5-S1 disc. There is Grade II spondylolisthesis of the L5 over the S1 vertebra with spondylolysis at L5, bilaterally. Resultant pseudoposterior disc herniation is noted at the L5-S1 level with bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.
Posterior disc bulges are noted at the rest of the lumbar disc levels with slight bilateral neural foraminal narrowing. Mild facetal hypertrophy is also noted in the lumbar region. The lumbar vertebral bodies also show spotty fatty marrow changes.

..3/.
- 3 - Scan-00001
2. Altered signal of the D9 and D10 vertebral bodies as described is not specific for a single etiology. This changes may represent osteoporotic fractures (recent h/o fall) or may represent long standing infective lesion (sclerotic changes, past h/o pulmonary kochs, tuberculous cervical lymphadinitis). The possibility of a neoplasm although less likely, cannot be entirely excluded.
