Name of the Patient : Abc XyzV. Nilmn / M / 72 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O forgetfullness with irrelevant talk.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the brain was performed using the following parameters :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted, proton and T2 Weighted axial images.

5 mm thick FLAIR coronal images.

OBSERVATION :

There are small areas of hyperintensity on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images within the fronto-parietal and periatrial white matter bilaterally. These are iso to hypointense to white matter on the T1 Weighted images and are most likely ischemic in etiology.

There is mild prominence of the cerebral cortical sulci bilaterally. Also seen is mild fullness the third and both the lateral ventricles. The fourth ventricle is 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 :

1. Small areas of altered signal intensity within the fronto-parietal and periatrial white matter bilaterally and these are most likely ischemic in etiology.

2. Mild cerebral atrophy.
