Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz Klmn / F / 65 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzmbal.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O right trigeminal neuralgia since 10 years.

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 T1 Weighted coronal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

A limited MRA sequence was obtained through the region of interest.

OBSERVATION :

Prominent perivascular spaces/lacune are noted in the lentiform nuclei bilaterally.

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

There is mild fullness of both the lateral ventricles. The third and the fourth ventricles are normal. There is slight prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci and basal cisternal spaces bilaterally. There is no shift of the midline structures.

A vascular twig is noted along the inferior margin of the right trigeminal nerve and at the root exit zone of the right seventh and eighth cranial nerve complex without deforming the same.

IMPRESSION :

1. Prominent perivascular spaces/lacune in the lentiform nuclei bilaterally.

2. Mild age related cerebral cortical atrophy.

3. A vascular twig along the inferior margin of the right trigeminal nerve and at the root exit zone of the right seventh and eighth cranial nerve complex without deforming the same.
