No definite evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, significant  intracranial mass effect or depressed calvarial fracture.      PHYSICIANS RADIOLOGY REPORT   EXAM: CTA Head/Neck W/IV Contrast   DATE: 11/11/2021 19:57 hours   INDICATION: R vertex and retrorbital headache x 3 days,?brain fog? blurry vision,h/o HTN, current BP 180/96 ,type II DM; R vertex and  retrorbital headache x 3 days,?brain fog?blurry vision, h/o HTN,  current BP 180/90 type II DM   COMPARISON: None   Technique:   After IV contrast administration, contiguous axial images were  obtained through the head and neck. Multiplanar 2-D reformats and  thick slab 3-D MIP reconstructions were obtained.  80 mL of Isovue 370 was administered intravenously.   FINDINGS:   CTA neck:   There is a four-vessel arch, with the innominate artery, the left  common carotid artery, the left vertebral artery left subclavian  artery originating discretely from aortic arch.   Innominate artery shows no significant compromise. The bilateral  common carotid and the bilateral cervical internal carotid arteries  show no significant compromise.   The right vertebral artery is dominant. The bilateral cervical  vertebral arteries show no significant focal stenosis along their  course.   No definite evidence of a discrete intimal flap to suggest an acute  dissection of the cervical carotid or vertebral arteries.   There are disc osteophyte complexes which contribute to cause mild  central canal stenosis at the C5-C6 and C6-C7 levels.     CTA head:   There are patchy calcified plaques along the cavernous and clinoid  segments of both internal carotid arteries, which cause mild  narrowing. The major branches of the bilateral anterior cerebral and  middle cerebral arteries show no significant focal stenosis. There  is a patent anterior communicating artery.   There are patent bilateral posterior communicating arteries. The  major branches of the bilateral posterior cerebral arteries show no  significant focal stenosis. The basilar artery and the V4 segments of  both vertebral arteries show no significant focal stenosis.   No definite evidence of saccular aneurysm formation involving the  major intracranial arterial vasculature.   The dural venous sinuses grossly appear patent.   IMPRESSION:   CTA neck:   No definite evidence of significant stenosis, occlusion or acute  dissection involving the cervical carotid or vertebral arteries.   CTA head:   1. There are patchy calcified plaques along the cavernous and clinoid  segments of both internal carotid arteries, which cause mild  narrowing.   2. No definite evidence of significant stenosis or occlusion  involving the major intracranial arterial vasculature.     Thank you for consulting our team of subspecialty radiologists at  Radiology.
