 BRAIN: The exam is markedly degraded due to severe artifact likely related to dental amalgam. Within this limitation, there is no enhancing mass, mass effect or midline shift. There is signal heterogeneity in the pons and upper medulla which is suspected to be artifactual. There are no detectable white matter lesions on the limited T2 images. The ventricles and basal cisterns are normal in size and configuration. There is no hydrocephalus.IACs: The exam is markedly degraded due to severe artifact likely related to dental amalgam. Within this limitation, there is no detectable pathologic enhancement of the bilateral cranial nerves 7/8 complexes in the visualized cisternal and intracanalicular portions. The remaining markedly segments are distorted by artifact.
1.Nondiagnostic exam due to severe artifact likely related to patient's dental amalgam.2.No detectable pathologic enhancement of the visualized cisternal and intracanalicular cranial nerves 7/8 complexes.3.No hydrocephalus, large intracranial mass or mass effect.
