58 years Male (DOB:3/25/1958)Reason: ? radiographic signs of dementia History: short-term memory lossPROVIDER/ATTENDING NAME: GREGORY W RUHNKE ANUBHA GANJOO The CSF spaces are appropriate for the patient's stated age with no midline shift. There are several 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.
1.There is no evidence for acute ischemic cerebral infarction or intracranial mass lesion to explain the patient's short-term memory loss.2.Several periventricular and subcortical white matter punctate foci are probably of little clinical significance given their small number and the high frequency of occurrence of such lesions in the general population.
