Name of the Patient : Abc Xyz D. Salmn / M / 16 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzakantan / Dr. Abc Xyzndkar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O seizures on 00.00.00 & 00.00.00.
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.
4 mm thick FLAIR coronal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is evidence of a circumscribed lesion having a diameter of approximately 5.0 mm and located within the left parietal lobe. This lesion is mildly hyperintense with a hypointense rim on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images and is not well-defined on the T1 Weighted images. Few hyperintense areas on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images adjacent to this lesion may represent perilesional edema/gliosis.
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.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of a lesion having a diameter
of approximately 5.0 mm and located within the left parietal lobe and this most likely represents a granuloma (? cysticercus ? tuberculoma).
A contrast enhanced scan would be worthwhile.
