Full term female with meconium aspiration, perinatal depression treated with cooling protocol. There is apparently a small area of mildly restricted diffusion in the left corona radiata and anterior limb of the left internal capsule, perhaps with minimal T1 hyperintensity in parts of this area. The corpus callosum is borderline thin, but there is otherwise an expected degree of myelination. There are several small scattered areas of T1 hyperintensity along the posterior cerebral convexity subdural spaces bilaterally. The ventricles and basal cisterns are normal in size and configuration. There is no midline shift or mass effect. Normal flow-voids are demonstrated in the major intracranial vascular structures. The paranasal sinuses are clear. The visualized mastoid air cells are clear. There is mild prominence of the left lacrimal sac. The orbits are otherwise unremarkable.
1. Apparent small area of mildly restricted diffusion in the left corona radiata and anterior limb of the left internal capsule may represent a perinatal infarct.2. Several small scattered areas of T1 hyperintensity along the posterior cerebral convexity subdural spaces bilaterally likely represent subacute hemorrhages. I personally reviewed the Images and/or procedure with the Resident/Fellow and agree with this report.
