Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzanand Pilmn / M / 5 1/2 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzadkat.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O seizures.
Alleged H/O head trauma.
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.
OBSERVATION :
There is an area of hypointensity on the T1 Weighted images in the left inferior frontal lobe. This lesion follows CSF signal on all the pulse sequences and may represent an area of cystic encephalomalacia.
The hippocampal complex on either side is unremarkable.
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 :
Focal altered signal in the left inferior frontal lobe represents an area of cystic encephalomalacia (? the sequelae of a previous cortical contusion due to trauma).
