Name of the Patient : Abc Xyznd lmn / M / 36 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzhatt.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O weakness of left half of the body.
Chronic alcoholic and cirrhosis of liver.

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.

OBSERVATION :

There are hyperintense areas on the T1 Weighted images within the lentiform nuclei bilaterally and these may represent deposition of paramagnetic substances.

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.

A polyp is noted in the right maxillary sinus. Note is made of enlarged adenoids.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of altered signal intensity within the lentiform nuclei bilaterally and this may be seen with acquired hepatocerebral syndrome.
