Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzndra T. Galmn / M / 63 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

H/O tooth extraction 1 1/2 months back with numbness on the left side of face and inability to shut left eye since then.

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 and T2 Weighted coronal images.

MR cisternogram was also obtained in the coronal plane.

OBSERVATION :

There is a small bright focus on the proton and T2 Weighted images in the head of the right caudate nucleus (scans 102.12 and 105.19). This most likely represents ischemic changes.

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

Slow flow is noted in the left transverse and sigmoid sinuses.

The seventh and eighth cranial nerve complex and the trigeminal nerves are unremarkable on either side. There is no vascular loop deforming the root exit zone of the seventh and eighth cranial nerve complexes or the root entry zone of the trigeminal nerves on either side.

A polyp is noted in the left maxillary antrum.

IMPRESSION :

An ischemic focus in the head of the right caudate nucleus.

No other significant abnormality is detected on this study.
