Name of the Patient : Abc XyzR. Motalmn / M / 72 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzdar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
H/O fall +.
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 Fast Scan (T2 *) coronal images.
OBSERVATION :
Susceptibility artifacts are noted.
There are multiple small bright foci on the proton and T2 Weighted images within the corona radiata and centrum semiovale bilaterally. These are iso to hypointense to normal white matter on the T1 Weighted images and are most likely ischemic in etiology.
Areas of similar signal intensity are seen in the periventricular white matter bilaterally.
Prominent Virchow Robin spaces are noted in the lentiform nuclei bilaterally.
There is fullness of the third and both the lateral ventricles. There is prominence of the basal cisternal spaces, cerebral cortical sulci and cerebellar folia bilaterally.
Note is made of hypointensities on the proton and T2 Weihgted images within the left globe and this may represent air, the result of trauma.
The fourth ventricle is normal. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.
IMPRESSION :
1. Areas of altered signal within the corona radiata and centrum semiovale bilaterally and in the periventricular white matter bilaterally are most likely ischemic in etiology
2. Air within the left globe and this may be the result of trauma.
