35-year-old female with paresthesias. 3T CCD MRI; Javed MS protocol no DTI Brain:Redemonstrated are scattered foci of T2/FLAIR hyperintensity within the bilateral periventricular white matter and pons, several of which demonstrate T1 hypointensity. Although a few of these lesions appear more conspicuous, this could be at least partially explained technically by imaging at 3 Tesla (previously 1.5 Tesla). There are no new apparent lesions.No evidence of any significant parenchymal edema or mass effect is seen. Brain parenchymal volume is preserved. No intracranial hemorrhage or abnormal extra-axial fluid is detected. The ventricular system is normal in size and morphology. Expected vascular flow voids are demonstrated. Paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear.Cervical spine:Vertebral body height and morphology are within normal limits. No areas of pathologic marrow replacement, enhancement or edema are seen.T2 signal abnormality is noted within the cervical cord at the following locations: Anterior medulla, anterior C2/3, right cord C3/4, and left lateral cord C6/7.The intervertebral discs are preserved. No significant bulge or herniation is seen. The spinal canal and neural foramina are patent.
1.Multiple white matter lesions are identified in the brain involving the periventricular regions bilaterally and the pons. Although a few of these lesions appear more conspicuous, this could be at least partially explained technically by imaging at 3 Tesla (previously 1.5 Tesla). There are no new apparent lesions.2.T2 hyperintense lesions are present within the cervical spinal cord at levels described in detail above.
