Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Mlmn / M / 12 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O seizures, blurring of vision and fall with LOC since 3 years.

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 and T2 Weighted coronal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :

There is reduction in the volume of the body of the hippocampus on the right side with prominence of the temporal horn. The underlying collateral white matter is however unremarkable (scan 105.8, 105.9, 106.8, 106.9). Subtle increase in the signal intensity is also noted in this region.

There is slight reduction in the volume of the tail of the hippocampus on the left 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.

Incidental note is made of enlarged adenoids.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of reduction in the volume of the body of the hippocampus on the right side and tail of the hippocampus on the left side suggestive of hippocampal sclerosis.
