Memory loss. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass, or acute infarct. There is prominent hypointensity in the bilateral basal ganglia. There is mild scattered cerebral white matter T2 hyperintensity. There are also a few scattered punctate foci of intraparenchymal susceptibility effect. There is mild diffuse cerebral volume loss. There is no midline shift or herniation. The major cerebral flow voids are intact. The skull, paranasal sinuses, and scalp soft tissues are grossly unremarkable. There are bilateral lens implants.
1. No evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage, mass, or acute infarct.2. Mild scattered cerebral white matter T2 hyperintensity are nonspecific, but may represent chronic small vessel ischemic disease3. Prominent hypointensity in the bilateral basal ganglia may represent a neurodegenerative process versus age-related mineral deposition. 4. Mild diffuse cerebral volume loss.5. A few scattered punctate foci of intraparenchymal susceptibility effect may represent chronic microhemorrhages.
