Date : 00.00.00

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Kotlmn / M / 67 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzagwati / Dr. Abc Xyzmpat.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

Known hypertensive/diabetic with meningitis.
For follow up.

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 FLAIR coronal images.

OBSERVATION :

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

There is still seen hyperintense signal, best appreciated
on the FLAIR coronal images in the right frontal subdural space/subarachnoid space. This lesion is of intermediate signal intensity on the T1 Weighted images and may represent inflammatory meningeal thickening/exudates.

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.

Inflammatory changes are noted in the frontal sinus, ethmoidal air cells and right maxillary sinus.





IMPRESSION :

Altered signal in the right frontal subdural space/subarachnoid space may represent inflammatory meningeal thickening/exudates.

A contrast enhanced scan would be worthwhile.

Inflammatory changes in the paranasal sinuses as described are also noted.

As compared to the previous MRI dated 00.00.00 (study no.00009), there is significant resolution of the lesion in the interhemispheric fissure. There is also reduction in the inflammatory tissue in the frontal sinus and ethmoidal air cells.

sb/hs/nl/rg.
Date : 00.00.00

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Kotlmn / M / 69 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzagwati.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O headaches with high grade fever and vomiting (twice) since 3 days.
Swelling with right eye proptosis.
Known diabetic/hypertensive.

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 per se.

There is a hyperintense signal best appreciated on the FLAIR coronal images in the interhemispheric fissure, more so posteriorly and in the right frontal subdural space/subarachnoid space. This lesion is of intermediate signal intensity on the T1 Weighted images and may represent inflammatory meningeal thickening/small subdural collection.

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.

Inflammatory changes are noted in the frontal sinuses, ethmoidal air cells and right maxillary sinus. There is proptosis on the right side.


IMPRESSION :

Altered signal in the interhemispheric fissure and in the right frontal subdural space/subarachnoid space may represent inflammatory meningeal thickening/small subdural collection.

A contrast enhanced scan would be worthwhile.

Inflammatory changes in the paranasal sinuses and right sided proptosis as described. An infective pathology, especailly a fungal lesion should be excluded.

ke/hs
can No : 00003 Date : 00.00.00

Name of the Patient : Abc XyzMlmn / M / 28 yrs.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O headaches since 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 :

Few small bright foci on the FLAIR images are seen in the right frontal lobe.

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.

Inflammatory changes are noted in the ethmoidal air cells on the right side and deviation of the nasal septum to the right.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of few foci of altered signal in the right frontal lobe and are of undetermined etiology (? related to migraine).
