Inflammatory breast cancer and headaches. Evaluate for metastatic disease The CSF spaces are appropriate for the patient's stated age with no midline shift. There is a mild degree of periventricular and subcortical punctate hyperintense white matter lesions present identified on the FLAIR and T2 images.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 visualized portions of the mastoid air cells are clear. The visualized portions of the orbits are intact.The visualized bone in the upper cervical spine and clivus appears relatively low in signal.
1.Periventricular and subcortical white matter signal changes of a mild degree are present which are nonspecific. They could be vascular related, related to demyelination, trauma, vasculitis, sarcoid. They are nonspecific. 2.Marrow replacement in the visualized upper cervical spine and clivus is a nonspecific finding. This could be related to chronic disease, anemia, lymphoproliferative disorder, myeloproliferative disorder or metastases in the appropriate clinical setting. Please correlate with clinical findings and bone scan exam.
