Palpable skull defect. There is artifact related to orthodontic hardware obscuring most of the face and distorting the lower aspect of the frontal lobes. Accounting for this, there is no definite skull or scalp abnormality. Also, there is no evidence of mass. A significant part of the brain cannot be assessed on the diffusion-weighted and the susceptibility-weighted imaging because of artifact. The remainder of the brain shows no acute infarct or intracranial hemorrhage. The brain parenchyma and pituitary gland 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. Mastoid air cells are clear.
1.There is no MRI evident skull or scalp abnormality in the right parietal region. Thin section CT through the region may better define the osseous structures if deemed clinically beneficial.2.There is also no significant intracranial abnormality.
