The rest of the upper aerodigestive tract is unremarkable. There is also no significant lymphadenopathy in the neck based on size criteria or abnormal signal characteristics. The thyroid and salivary glands appear to be intact. There is extensive volume loss in the imaged portions of the brain. There are bilateral lens implants. There are secretions in the left sphenoid sinus. There is multilevel degenerative spondylosis of the cervical spine.
