Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzr lmn / M / 7 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. - Brain (Post-contrast Study).

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O mental retardation with seizures.

EXAMINATION :

After administration of contrast the following parameters were used :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted axial and coronal images with magnetization transfer.

4 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :

There is a disc enhancing lesion adjacent to the foramen of Monroe on the left side measuring approximately 7.0 x 5.0 mms.

There is no other area of abnormal enhancement in the brain parenchyma or along the meninges.

IMPRESSION :

A disc enhancing lesion adjacent to the foramen of Monroe on the left side is not specific for a single diagnosis. A subependymal tuber or a subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (? tuberous sclerosis) should be considered.

The possibility of this being a granuloma is less likely.
