Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz. Slmn / M / 44 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzhijwala / Dr. Abc Xyzarucha.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O pain in the left eye region.
H/O left 3rd nerve palsy.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the brain was performed using the following parameters :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted, proton and T2 Weighted axial images.

3 mm thick FLAIR coronal images.

After administration of contrast the following parameters were used :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted axial images with magnetization transfer.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

3 mm thick T1 Weighted coronal images with magnetization transfer.

OBSERVATION :

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

After administration of contrast, there is no area of abnormal enhancement within the brain parenchyma or the meninges.

A vascular loop is seen to indent the cisternal component of the left oculomotor nerve.
Scan-00008


Note is made of a giant cisterna magna.

Both the lateral, third and the fourth ventricles are normal. The rest of the basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures.

Inflammatory changes are noted in the left maxillary sinus.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of a vascular loop indenting the cisternal component of the left oculomotor nerve.

No other significant abnormality is detected on this study.
