Diagnosis: Anesthesia of skinClinical question: right face numbness The CSF spaces are appropriate for the patient's stated age with no midline shift. There is a punctate T2 and FLAIR signal hyperintense lesion present along the anterior aspect of the right external capsule. There are several subcortical white matter lesions present along the frontal lobes.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 are clear. The visualized portions of the mastoid air cells are clear. The visualized portions of the orbits are intact.
Periventricular and subcortical white matter changes of a mild degree are nonspecific. At this age they are most likely vascular related.
