Diagnosis: Dizziness and giddinessClinical question: r/o occlusion or stenosisSigns and Symptoms: vertigo MRI of the brainNo diffusion weighted abnormalities are appreciated.The CSF spaces are appropriate for the patient's stated age with no midline shift. No abnormal enhancing 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 left maxillary sinus is small. There is depression of the left orbital floor The visualized portions of the mastoid air cells are clear. MRA brain:Antegrade flow is present in the distal internal carotid arteries, the distal vertebral arteries, the basilar artery and the proximal anterior, middle and posterior cerebral arteries.There is no evidence for intracranial aneurysm or cerebrovascular occlusion.The anterior communicating artery is identified and is medium size. The posterior communicating arteries are intact. The left vertebral artery is larger than the right vertebral artery.MRA neck:There is opacification of the aortic arch, great vessels from the aortic arch and carotid arteries and vertebral arteries. There is no stenosis identified of the great vessels from the aortic arch. On the basis of NASCET criteria there is no significant stenosis at the carotid bifurcations. There is no significant stenosis along the course of the vertebral arteries.
1.No evidence for intracranial or extracranial cerebrovascular occlusive disease.2.No evidence for acute ischemic cerebral infarction and no evidence for intracranial mass lesion.3.Findings suggest old left orbital floor blowout fracture vs prolapse of the floor due to maxillary sinus atelectasis (silent sinus syndrome).
