MRI Scan for TSE T1 & T2 Wt.images of the Axial sections with out IV contrast

The report shows:
- Signals from orbits normal,bilaterally no masses
-Signals from brain system & Cerebellem are normal
-ventricular system dilated
-sulci,sylvial fussures & cisternal spaces are widened .Prominent subarachroid spaces in the bilateral temporal and frontal regions
- bilateral periventricular white matter shows hyperintensity on T2 in the parieto-occipital regions
-suspicuious focal cortical dysplasia in the rt.fronto-pariental region
- no midline shift
- no e/0 bony pathology fractures
Impression:
1) mild cerebral atrophy
2) periventricular leukomalacia with ? focal cortical dysplasia in the Rt.Fronto parietal region

Ex vacuo dilatation of the ventricular system is noted. Global cerebral atrophy with prominence of sulci is appreciated. The gray/white matter differentiation is maintained. The basilar cisterns are preserved. The bony calvarium is unremarkable. Post contrast images demonstrate no foci of abnormal enhancement. >> full story
