The floor of the sella is asymmetric, again downsloping towards the right. The rounded area of T2 hyperintensity along the lowered right side of the sella floor measures minimally larger. On the coronal T2-weighted images, the abnormality measures 9 mm in width, compared to 7 mm previously. The significance of this minimal change in size is doubtful given the different angulation between the two examinations resulting in slice selection mismatch. The focal abnormality is still associated with thin, partial rim enhancement and no central enhancement. There is also a contiguous line of ossification separating the lesion from the adjacent sphenoidal body marrow. It is difficult to determine whether this lesion arises from or is external to the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland otherwise continues to show normal, homogeneous enhancement. The pituitary stalk is not deviated. There is no suprasellar mass. There is no mass effect on the optic chiasm.The 5-mm cystic lesion with rim enhancement in the pineal gland is unchanged, most probably representing an incidental pineal cyst.Included brain is unremarkable. An unchanged small contrast enhancing focus involving the frontal bone along the left superior orbital rim is unchanged and probably reflects a small venous lake.
1.The tiny focal signal abnormality along the right side of the floor of the sella is stable to very minimally larger, allowing for differences in technique. While it is still difficult to determine whether this lesion arises from the pituitary gland or is external to it, the lack of significant size change over the one-year interval favors a benign etiology, with unchanged differential. Underlying chronic developmental asymmetry of the sellar floor remains possible.2.Unchanged small incidental pineal cyst.

MRI Brain:Susceptibility artifact overlying the left anterior frontal lobe slightly limits evaluation for acute ischemia and hemorrhage in this region. There is however no diffusion restriction to suggest acute ischemia. There is also no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage or intracranial mass. There is punctate focus of susceptibility consistent with chronic microhemorrhage involving the left inferior lateral cerebellar hemisphere and unchanged. Again seen are postsurgical changes of a left parietal craniectomy. Again demonstrated is extensive encephalomalacia involving the left MCA territory particularly the left lateral frontal, parietal and temporal lobes as well as the insula with associated ex vacuo dilatation of the left lateral ventricle. There is additional underlying mild periventricular and subcortical white matter T2/FLAIR hyperintensity, which is nonspecific unchanged and likely related to mild chronic small vessel ischemic disease. Previously seen diffusion abnormality related to subacute infarct at the right temporal occipital junction has normalized consistent with evolution. No hydrocephalus. There is no midline shift or herniation. The major cerebral flow voids are intact. The orbits, skull, paranasal sinuses, and scalp soft tissues are grossly unremarkable.MRA Brain: The intracranial internal carotid arteries demonstrate no significant stenosis. The middle and anterior cerebral arteries are also patent. There is attenuation of the distal left MCA branches coursing near the infarcted territory which may reflect decreased demand. The vertebral arteries, basilar artery, and posterior cerebral arteries also are patent with no significant stenosis. No evidence of aneurysms or vascular malformations. Left posterior communicating artery is small. The right posterior communicating artery is not definitively visualized. MRA Neck: There is origin of the left common carotid artery from the brachiocephalic artery which is a normal variant. The common carotid arteries and cervical internal carotid arteries are normal in course and caliber. There is suggestion of a small atherosclerotic plaque at the left internal carotid artery origin without significant stenosis. Both vertebral artery origins are patent. There is no evidence of stenosis or occlusion.
1.No evidence of an acute infarct, hemorrhage, or mass effect. 2.Encephalomalacia in the left MCA territory compatible with a chronic infarct again seen. There has been evolution of a small right temporal-occipital infarct which was subacute on prior study from 9/20/2016.3.Diminutive distal left MCA branches in the infarcted territory which may reflect decreased demand. Otherwise, no flow-limiting stenosis involving the intracranial vasculature or the major arteries of the neck.I personally reviewed the Images and/or procedure with the Resident/Fellow and agree with this report.

Diagnosis: Unspecified cerebral artery occlusion with cerebral infarctionClinical question: 24 hr post L MCA strokeSigns and Symptoms: stroke MRI of the brainThere is a focus of diffusion restriction present involving left inferior frontal gyrus, left insular cortex and left middle frontal gyrus with some extension into the lateral aspect of the left precentral gyrus and a small component in the left inferior parietal lobule supramarginal gyrus. There are associated FLAIR and T2 signal changes. There is a focus of susceptibility effect present along the left inferior frontal gyrus anteriorly. This focus of susceptibility measures 18 x 9 mm axial dimensions on the T2 axial images.A small focus of encephalomalacia is present along the right occipital lobe the lower portion of the cuneus and region measuring approximately 15 x 20 mm in sagittal dimensions.There is a moderate degree of periventricular and subcortical punctate hyperintense white matter lesions present identified on the FLAIR and T2 images.The CSF spaces are appropriate for the patient's stated age with no midline shift. No abnormal mass lesions are appreciated intracranially. No intracranial hemorrhage is identified. No edema is identified within the brain parenchyma.Normal vascular flow voids are present in the distal carotid and vertebral arteries, the basilar artery and the proximal anterior, middle and posterior cerebral arteries as well as the internal cerebral veins and superior sagittal sinus.The visualized portions of the paranasal sinuses demonstrate mucosal thickening in the right maxillary sinus associated with a small right maxillary sinus. There is depression of the floor of the right orbit and the medial deviation of the medial wall of the right orbit. The visualized portions of the mastoid air cells are clear. MRA brain:Antegrade flow is present in the distal internal carotid arteries, the distal vertebral arteries, the basilar artery and the proximal anterior, middle and posterior cerebral arteries.There is no evidence for intracranial aneurysm or cerebrovascular occlusion.There is fetal origin of the posterior cerebral arteries bilaterally associated with small P1 segments. The A1 segments are similar in size. The anterior communicating artery appears small. The left vertebral artery is slightly larger than the right vertebral artery. There is thickening of the walls of the right vertebral artery along its proximal intracranial segment and distal extracranial segment without significant stenosis.
1.Subacute infarction in the left middle cerebral artery territory as detailed above associated with the a small area of hemorrhagic conversion.2.Small focus of encephalomalacia is present along the right occipital lobe. Most likely this is related to remote cerebral infarction. Please note that there is fetal origin of the posterior cerebral arteries.3.Periventricular and subcortical white matter changes of a moderate degree are nonspecific. At this age they are most likely vascular related. 4.Findings suggest an old right orbital blowout fracture.

Clinical question: Evaluate for cervical stenosis or foraminal stenosis. Signs and symptoms: LUE paresthesia and hyperreflexia. Nonenhanced cervical spine MRI:The alignment of the vertebral column is anatomical.There is uniform generalized small caliber of the cervical spinal canal which is believed to represent a congenital anatomic variation of the short pedicle.Foramen Magnum is unremarkable.C2 -- C3 is unremarkable.C3 the C4 is unremarkable.C4--C5 demonstrate mild degenerative changes with result in mild to moderate right neural foraminal compromise however without spinal stenosis or neural foraminal compromise. There is a tiny linear T2/T2 stir hyperintensity within the fundus of the disk in the midline and to the right consistent with a tiny annular fissure. This finding is best appreciated on sagittal T2 stir images 7 and 8 and axial T2 series 6 on image 21. C5 -- C6 demonstrate mild disk disease and loss of disk height. There is a tiny focus of T2 hyperintensity laterally on the right (sagittal T2 stir series 3 image 5 and axial T2 series 6 image 27) suspicious for small disk extrusion or annular fissure. There is moderate bilateral neural foraminal compromise secondary to degenerative changes. Mild degenerative changes at this level in combination with congenitally small canal results in mild central spinal stenosis at this level.C6 -- C7 demonstrate a small left lateral disk protrusion (sagittal T2 stir image 8 and axial T2 series 6 images 30 and 31). There is moderate left and mild right neural foramina compromise without central spinal stenosis.C7 -- T1 is unremarkable.Unremarkable signal intensity and caliber of cervical and uppermost visualized thoracic cord.
1.There is uniformly smaller caliber of the cervical spinal canal which represent a congenital anatomical variation.2.Mild degenerative changes at C5 -- C6 in combination with congenitally small canal results in central spinal stenosis only at this level.3.Tiny disk extrusion or annular fissure on the right at C5 -- C6 is noted.4.Shallow broad-based disk protrusion on the left at C6 -- C7 with moderate left neuroforaminal compromise.5.Multi-level neural foraminal compromise as detailed per level above.6.Normal signal intensity and caliber of cervical cord.

29 years, Male, headache, evaluate Chiari decompression and syrinx. Additional history per chart, hx of SAH as child, chiari decompression, cervical syrinx, SVT, LPS & VPS presents with 3 week history of worsening headache, worsening nausea, blurred vision & gait instability. Brain: Again seen are postoperative findings related to right PICA aneurysm clipping as well as suboccipital craniotomy for Chiari decompression. There is artifact related to the aneurysm clip, which obscures the surrounding anatomy. There is encephalomalacia and susceptibility effect in the right caudate head likely related to prior hemorrhage. The ventricles are not significantly changed in size and configuration compared to 8/12/2015 MRI, with a left transparietal ventricular shunt catheter unchanged in position. Prior additional ventriculostomy tracts are also evident. There is no evidence of acute infarction. The cerebellum assumes an unchanged position and configuration. Unchanged signal abnormality involving the right cerebellar tonsil consistent with post treatment change. Susceptibility artifact related to aneurysm clip limits assessment for CSF spaces and flow dorsally at the foramen magnum; there is however preserved ventral CSF space at the foramen magnum with preserved biphasic flow.Cervical and Thoracic Spine:There is no significant change in size of the cervicothoracic syrinx. For example the syrinx at the C1-C2 level measures 2 x 5 mm in the AP and transverse dimensions, not significantly changed. In the lower cervical cord the syrinx occupies the right aspect of the cervical cord as before. There may be minimal decrease in component of the syrinx. For example at the mid C6 level, syrinx measures approximately 2.5 mm in the AP dimension, previously 2.7 mm. No significant change in the caudal extent of the syrinx which is at the lower T10 level. Unchanged reversal of cervical lordosis. Moderate degree of thoracic scoliosis with apex at approximately the T8 level is again noted and better assessed with standing radiographs. There is no significant spinal canal stenosis at any level. Bone marrow signal is benign.

Syrinx, tethered spinal cord and back pain. For the purposes of numbering, the most inferior well-defined disc space is labeled L5-S1. Low-lying conus near the lumbosacral junction and postoperative changes related to prior cord untetherings again seen. Distal thecal sac is ectatic and demonstrates septations, findings which are not appreciably changed. As before, the distal spinal cord abuts and may be adherent to the posterior thecal sac. Cauda equina nerve roots are also peripherally located as seen before which may also be reflective of adhesion/arachnoiditis. Prone images demonstrate no appreciable ventral motion of the distal cord again raising possibility of re-tethering in the appropriate clinical setting.No significant change in diameter or craniocaudal extent of visualized distal cord syrinx extending from approximately the L1 to the L3-L4 levels and measuring up to 2 x 4 mm in the axial plane. Syrinx is decreased in size when compared to earlier MRI from 3/30/2016.Alignment is anatomic. Vertebral body heights and intervertebral disc spaces are preserved. The bone marrow demonstrates a normal signal. No spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis is seen at any level.
1. No significant change in examination compared to 7/14/2016 including the small distal cord syrinx. Syrinx is mildly decreased in size when compared to 3/30/2016. 2. There is no significant ventral motion of the distal cord in the prone position raising possibility of re-tethering, although this finding has been present on multiple prior studies.

New onset seizure. Examination demonstrates diffuse edema in the right frontal lobe and genu of corpus callosum. The appears slightly effacement of the frontal horn of the right lateral ventricle. These findings have been unchanged since prior MRI. There is no intracranial hemorrhage, midline shift or abnormal extra-axial fluid collection. The ventricles are normal in size and symmetric.The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are normally pneumatized. In view of the orbits is unremarkable. The calvarium is intact.
Right frontal cerebral edema with involvement of the genu of corpus callosum likely represent underlying tumor (primary versus metastasis).

Visual changes and metastatic melanoma on immunotherapy - numbness/tingling in left hand ring and middle finger. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass, or acute infarct. There are a few scattered foci of non-enhancing T2 hyperintensity in the cerebral white matter, which are nonspecific. The pituitary gland appears unremarkable. There is no abnormal intracranial enhancement. There is mild diffuse cerebral volume loss. There is no midline shift or herniation. The major cerebral flow voids are intact. The skull, orbit, and scalp soft tissues are unremarkable. There is mild scattered paranasal sinus mucosal thickening.
No evidence of intracranial metastases of acute infarction.

Right-sided weakness and numbness, evaluate for neurosarcoidosis. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass, or acute infarct. There is a right cerebellar hemisphere developmental venous anomaly with mild associated linear T2 hyperintensity. The brain parenchyma otherwise appears to be unremarkable. The ventricles and basal cisterns are normal in size and configuration. There is no midline shift or herniation. The major cerebral flow voids are intact. There is opacification of the left maxillary sinus, left frontal sinus, as well as mild mucosal thickening on the right maxillary and ethmoid sinuses. There is an anterior nasal septal defect and absence of the let inferior turbinate. The orbits, skull, and scalp soft tissues are grossly unremarkable.
1. No evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, mass, or acute infarct.2. Incidental right cerebellar hemisphere developmental venous anomaly.3. An anterior nasal septal defect and absence of the let inferior turbinate may be postoperative in nature.

Frontal and retro-orbital pressure bilaterally after fall while snowboarding 6 wks ago, with symptoms worsening over past 3 weeks, but the neurological exam is non-focal. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass, or acute infarct. There is a small area of mild patchy posterior right frontal lobe periventricular white matter T2 hyperintensity. The brain parenchyma otherwise appear unremarkable. There is no abnormal intracranial enhancement. The ventricles and basal cisterns are normal in size and configuration. There is no midline shift or herniation. The major cerebral flow voids are intact. The orbits, skull, paranasal sinuses, and scalp soft tissues are grossly unremarkable.
Nonspecific mild patchy posterior right frontal lobe periventricular white matter T2 hyperintensity, which may possibly be related to remote ischemia, but no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass, or acute infarct.

Altered mental status, multiple myeloma. The images are degraded by patient motion. There is a mass centred within the clivus with extension into the left cavernous sinus. There is no gross mass effect upon the pons. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage or acute infarct. The brain parenchyma and pituitary gland appear unremarkable. The ventricles and basal cisterns are unchanged in size and configuration. There is no midline shift or herniation. The orbits and scalp soft tissues are grossly unremarkable. There is mild right maxillary and bilateral sphenoid sinus mucosal thickening and fluid in the left maxillary sinus.
1. A lesion in the central skull base with extension into the left cavernous sinus is likely related to multiple myeloma, but assessment of the previously demonstrated epidural extension is limited by patient motion and the lack of intravenous contrast.2. No evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage or acute infarct.3. Findings suggestive of acute sinusitis.

Pancreatic lesion found incidentally on CT ABDOMEN:LIVER, BILIARY TRACT: Cirrhotic liver morphology, no suspicious liver lesion. Adenomyomatosis of level of the gallbladder fundus. Rounded foci of signal void on T2-weighted sequence seen layering in gallbladder, corresponding T1 hyperintensity seen, findings consistent with pigment gallstones.SPLEEN: Splenomegaly, measures 14 cm in longitudinal dimension. 1.4 cm splenule.PANCREAS: At junction of pancreatic head and uncinate process is well-circumscribed 1.1 x 1 cm T2 hyperintense focus, likely a sidebranch intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. No suspicious nodularity or enhancement delineated. Nondilated pancreatic duct. Intrinsic T1 signal of pancreatic parenchyma is relatively maintained. ADRENAL GLANDS: No significant abnormality noted.KIDNEYS, URETERS: No significant abnormality noted.RETROPERITONEUM, LYMPH NODES: Multiple varices. Small retrocrural, periportal and retroperitoneal lymph nodes, likely reactive in setting of chronic liver disease.BOWEL, MESENTERY: Percutaneous gastrostomy located in distal gastric body. Edematous bowel, likely reactive in etiology/related to hypoalbuminemic state. BONES, SOFT TISSUES: No significant abnormality noted.OTHER: Large amount of ascites. Moderate-sized left pleural effusion. Left-sided retroperitoneal hematoma formation seen on prior CT study not well assessed on current exam.
1. Well-circumscribed 11 mm nonenhancing T2 hyperintense focus located at junction of pancreatic head/uncinate process likely a sidebranch IPMN, no suspicious features depicted. Accounting for differences in technique and absence of intravenous contrast on earlier study, lesion was likely present on earlier noncontrast CT study from March 2015 (refer to image 42 series 3 on 3/23/15 CT study). 2. Cholelithiasis.3. Stigmata of cirrhosis, including nodular liver, splenomegaly and variceal formation. Large ascites and moderate-sized left pleural effusion.
