Follow up after laser ablation of the left hippocampal lesion. There is unchanged T2 hyperintensity, susceptibility effect and volume loss within the left hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus, where laser ablation has been performed. There is no evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage or acute infarct. The ventricles are unchanged in size and configuration. There is no midline shift or herniation. The skull is unremarkable. There is moderate mucosal thickening within the right maxillary sinus. There are unchanged numerous punctate foci of high T2 signal within the right parotid gland.
1. Expected findings related to laser ablation in the left medial temporal lobe.2. Unchanged numerous punctate foci of high T2 signal within the right parotid gland may represent sequela of an inflammatory process.
