Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O Gait ataxia since 2 1/2 months and speech disturbances 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.

OBSERVATION :

There is no focal area of altered signal intensity within the brain parenchyma.

There is slight thinning of the superior collicular plate of the tectum. Also seen is fullness of the ventricular system.

There is prominence of the basal cisternal spaces and cerebral cortical sulci bilaterally predominantly in both temporal regions. Also seen is mild prominence of the cerebellar folia bilaterally.

There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.

IMPRESSION :

1. Thinning of the superior collicular plate of the tectum. Such changes may be seen with progressive supranuclear palsy. Please correlate clinically.

2. Cerebral and mild cerebellar atrophy.
