Preop (biopsy) planning brain MRI. Redemonstration of abnormal high FLAIR signal intensity lesions involving left insular cortex, left temporal lobe pole, left temporal lobe superior and anterior transverse temporal gyrus, left side parahippocampal gyrus and left fusiform gyrus anterior aspect. No change since prior exam. The ventricles, sulci and cisterns are symmetric and unremarkable.There is midline shift, intra or extra-axial fluid collection/hemorrhage, restricted diffusion/acute ischemia, or abnormal contrast enhancement. The midline structures and cranial-cervical junction are normal. Normal flow voids are identified in the major intracranial vessels. The paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear.
No change of left side high signal intensity lesions on FLAIR images since prior exam.
