Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Kulilmn / F / 10 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O seizures with MR.
Known C/O tuberous sclerosis.

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.

3 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted coronal images.

OBSERVATION :

There is thickening of the gyri in the frontal parafalcine region bilaterally. This is hypointense to normal grey matter on the T1 Weighted images and turns hyperintense on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images.

Similar lesions are seen in the left parietal region, bilateral frontal region and right temporal lobe.

Both the lateral ventricles show fullness. The 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.

IMPRESSION :

In a known C/o tuberous sclerosis, altered signal in the frontal parafalcine region bilaterally, in the left parietal region, bilateral frontal regions and right temporal lobe can be seen with cortical tubers.
