53 years Female (DOB:4/21/1963)Reason: r/o lesions, hx of left visual loss History: same as abovePROVIDER/ATTENDING NAME: ANTHONY T. REDER MINDY ALYCE SCHWARTZ 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.Apparent FLAIR signal hyperintensity involving the midportion of the midbrain extending into the superior cerebellar peduncles was also present on the previous exam. It is not associated with T1 hypointensity and is not associated with T2 hyperintensity suggesting this may represent artifactNormal 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.
Findings are suggestive of artifact within the midbrain which could obscure an underlying abnormality. The appearance is stable.
