Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzar S. Salmn / M / 65 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O forgetfulness since 5-6 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.

OBSERVATION :

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

There is mild to moderate dilatation of both the lateral and third ventricles. The fourth ventricle is normal. There is prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci, cerebellar folia and basal cisternal spaces bilaterally. The ventricular dilatation is slightly disproportionate to the degree of cerebral cortical atrophy.

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

Inflammatory changes are seen within the left mastoid air cells.

IMPRESSION :

1. Mild to moderate dilatation of both the lateral and third ventricles which is disproportionate to the degree of cerebral cortical atrophy. Normal pressure hydrocephalus should be ruled out.

2. Mild cerebral and cerebellar atrophy.
