Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Shlmn / M / 7 yrs.
Reffered by : Dr. Abc Xyzar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

Alleged H/O vehicular accident at 1.0 pm on 00.00.00 with right facial and brachial paralysis since then.

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 and Fast Scan (T2 *) coronal images.

5 mm thick T2 Weighted sagittal images.

The cervical spine was screened with 5 mm thick T2 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :

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

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.

There is a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in the subgaleal soft tissues in the right parieto-occipital region. This may represent a soft tissue contusion/hematoma, in the given clinical setting.

The T2 Weighted sagittal images of the cervical spine do not reveal any significant feature of note.

Incidental note is made of enlarged adenoids.

IMPRESSION :

Altered signal in the subgaleal soft tissues in the right parieto-occipital region may represent a subgaleal contusion/hematoma in the given clinical setting.

No other significant abnormality is detected on this study.
