55 years Female (DOB:3/28/1961)Reason: Preop planning for brain tumor resection History: preop planningPROVIDER/ATTENDING NAME: BAKHTIAR YAMINI BAKHTIAR YAMINI There is an extra-axial mass present adjacent the right frontal lobe measuring 30 x 34 mm axial dimensions. There are associated flow voids at its base from the dura suggesting fairly vascular. There is associated mass effect. There is a small amount of T2 signal hyperintensity in the adjacent right frontal lobe white matter. Most likely this would represent a small amount of edema.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 demonstrate mucous retention cysts in the left maxillary sinus and some mucosal thickening in the right maxillary sinus. The visualized portions of the mastoid air cells demonstrate partial opacification of the right mastoid air cells The visualized portions of the orbits are intact.
1.A vascular extra-axial mass adjacent to the right frontal lobe and associated with mass effect most likely represents meningioma. There is small amount of edema in the adjacent right frontal lobe. There is also mass effect.2.Please note that this examination was performed for the purpose of stereotactic guidance for surgery.
