Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz P. Jarilmn / M / 35 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyz Vyas.
Examination : M.R.I. of Both Hips.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O pain in the left hip region and the LLE with inability to bend the left leg and wasting of the LLE since 2 months.
Alleged H/O fall in childhood.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I of both hips was performed using the following parameters :
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.
5 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.
5 mm thick Proton density sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
The head of femur on the left side is seen to be externally rotated.
Areas of hypointensity on the T1 Weighted images which turn hyperintense on the T2 Weighted and STIR images are seen within the left hip joint per se and would represent fluid.
The femoral head and the acetabulum reveal normal signal intensity bilaterally. There is no obvious bony destruction or erosions noted. The articular cartilages are unremarkable.
The musculature surrounding both the hip joints and the visualized pelvis is normal.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of an effusion within the left hip joint.
