Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzoshi.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Lumbo-sacral Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O radicular pain to BLE since 10-15 days.

A minimal posterior disc bulge is noted at the L4-L5 level.

There is a right paracentral disc herniation with peridiscal osteophyte at the L3-L4 level, minimally indenting the traversing right L4 nerve root. A left far lateral disc herniation is also noted at this level indenting the extraforaminal segment of the left L3 nerve root.








The lumbar vertebral bodies and the remaining intervertebral discs reveal normal signal intensity. The facet joints and the visualized pre and paravertebral soft tissues are unremarkable.

The conus medullaris terminates at the L1 level and the thecal sac terminates at the S2 level.

The antero-posterior dimensions of the lumbar canal at the level of the intervertebral discs are as follows :

18.0 mm at L1-L2
18.0 mm at L2-L3
18.0 mm at L3-L4
16.0 mm at L4-L5
12.0 mm at L5-S1.

Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Shlmn / M / 32 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah / Dr. Abc Xyzmpat.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O headaches, vomiting and fever since 4-5 days.
H/O disorientation and neck rigidity.

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.

SOME IMAGES SHOW PATIENT MOTION.

OBSERVATION :

There is seen an approximately 0.9 cms diameter sized well-marginated, iso to hypointense lesion on the T1 Weighted images in the left cerebellar hemisphere, just adjacent to the midline. This lesion appears relatively hypointense on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images. Perilesional hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted and FLAIR images may represent edema. Similar signal intensity lesions are noted in the left cerebellar hemisphere adjacent to the left perimedullary cistern.

There is a small bright focus on the proton and T2 Weighted images in the left parietal deep white matter which is most likely partial volume averaging with the tip of a sulcus (? ischemic focus ? small granuloma).








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.

Inflammatory changes are noted in the maxillary sinuses, sphenoid sinus and ethmoidal air cells bilaterally.

IMPRESSION :

Altered signal intensity lesions in the left cerebellar hemisphere, just adjacent to the midline and along the left perimedullary cistern as described, most likely represents granulomas following the signal characteristics of tuberculomas.

A contrast enhanced scan would be worthwhile.

OBSERVATION :

There are ill-defined, hyperintense areas on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images in the periventricular white matter bilaterally and in the subcortical and deep white matter in the fronto-parietal regions bilaterally.

Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain and
Intracranial and Neck M.R.A.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O right sided hemiplegia with aphasia since 00.00.00.
Known hypertensive.

EXAMINATION :

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

5 mm thick FLAIR and Fast Scan (T2 *) coronal images.

Intracranial and neck MRA were performed with 3D TOF and 2D TOF sequences, respectively.

SOME IMAGES SHOW PATIENT MOTION.

OBSERVATION :

BRAIN :

There is still seen an ill-defined, hyperintense signal on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images along the cortex in the left fronto-parietal, parafalcine region. This lesion appears hypointense on the T1 Weighted images and most likely represents an ischemic lesion. Resultant indentation is noted on the frontal horn of the left lateral ventricle. Involvement of the left half of the corpus callosum is also noted.

Lacunar infarcts are noted in the lentiform nuclei bilaterally, left thalamus, corona radiata and left centrum semiovale.
- 2 - Scan-00004
There is mild fullness of both the lateral and third ventricles. The fourth ventricle is normal. There is slight prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci and basal cisternal spaces bilaterally. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.

There is no evidence of haemorrhage on this study.
INTRACRANIAL MRA :

The petrous, cavernous and supraclinoid segments of the internal carotid arteries bilaterally show normal signal and calibre. The visualized anterior cerebral, middle cerebral, basilar, vertebral and posterior cerebral arteries also show normal signal, calibre and wall margins. No obvious aneurysm or vascular malformation is identified.

NECK MRA :

Motion artifacts are noted.

The common carotid arteries and their extracranial branches appear normal bilaterally. There are no obvious vessel wall irregularities or stenosis of the vessels noted.

IMPRESSION :

1. Altered signal along the left fronto-parietal, parafalcine cortex represents a recent ischemic insult along the distribution of the left anterior cerebral artery.

2. Lacunar infarcts in the lentiform nuclei bilaterally, left thalamus, corona radiata and left centrum semiovale.

3. No significant abnormality is detected within the brain parenchyma or on the intracranial and neck MRA on this study.

As compared to the previous MRI (study no:00000) dated 00.00.00, the previously identified ischemic lesion now seems better defined. There is no evidence of haemorrhage on the present study.

The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of :

1. A lesion within the left superior orbital fissure and optic canal with bulky extraoccular muscles on the left side as described most likely represents an infective pathology.

2. Inflammatory changes within the left maxillary sinus and the ethmoidal air cells and sphenoid sinus on the left side and
in the left infratemporal fossa and mild inflammatory changes in the frontal sinus and the mastoid air cells bilaterally.

Name of the Patient : Abc XyzHuslmn / M / 18 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Cervical Spine.

CLINICAL PROFILE:

C/O neck pain radiating to the RUE with wasting of the right shoulder since 2 months.

EXAMINATION :

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

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted sagittal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) axial images.

OBSERVATION :

There is mild loss of normal cervical lordotic curve.

There is evidence of a soft tissue lesion within the posterior and right lateral epidural space over the C2 to C7 vertebral levels. This lesion is hyperintense to muscle but hypointense to fat on the T1 Weighted images and turns hyperintense to both on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images.

There is erosion of the right lamina and spinous processes of the C4 vertebra with altered signal of the C3, C5 and C6 vertebrae and extension into the right paraspinal soft tissues over these levels. Also seen is encroachment into the right neural foramina at the C3-C4, C4-C5 and C5-C6 levels with encasement of the right vertebral artery (within the foramen transversorium) at the C3 level.



This lesion is seen to compress and displace the cord anteriorly and to the left over the C3 to C6 levels. The cord over these levels shows a hyperintense signal on the T2 Weighted and Fast Scan (T2 *) images suggestive of cord edema/ischemia/myelitis.

Note is made of enlarged lymphnodes within the visualized mediastinum and deep to the sternocleidomastoid muscles, bilaterally.

The cervical intervertebral discs show normal signal intensity. The joints of Luschka are unremarkable.

The atlanto-axial region and the cervico-medullary junction are unremarkable.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of a soft tissue lesion within the posterior and right lateral epidural space over the C2 to the C7 vertebral levels with cord compression and cord edema/ischemia/myelitis over the C3 to C6 vertebral levels and erosion of the right lamina and spinous process of C4. The differential diagnosis may include,

1. Infective processes like tuberculosis.
