Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzt Delmn / M / 18 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzdar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O seizures since 00.00.00. On anti-epileptics.
C/O progressive forgetfulness.
C/O paresthesias in the RLE more than RUE since 1 year.

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.

3 mm thick T2 Weighted coronal images.

OBSERVATION :

There is evidence of a band which is isointense to gray matter on all the pulse sequences in the left fronto-temporo-parietal lobe. It is seen to extend from the cortex upto the atrium of the left lateral ventricle (subependymal heterotopia) with indentation upon it. A small CSF cleft is seen within it, laterally.

The right 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.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of closed lip schizencephaly on the left side.
