Generate impression based on findings. | Clinical question: Assess for epidural hematoma after epidural steroid injection last week. Signs and symptoms: Subjective right leg weakness and increased urinary frequency. Pre- and post enhanced lumbar MRI:Examination demonstrates a posterior epidural collection with mixed T2 and T1 signal intensity along the dorsal aspect of the spinal canal at L4-L5 disc level. It measures approximately 25 mm in cranial cephalad axis and 7 x 12 mm in transaxial dimensions. Finding is highly suspected of a small epidural hemorrhage. It results in subtle mass effect on the thecal sac posteriorly. On prior MRI exam from 3-20 2-15 from St. Alexius Medical Center there is also a central disc protrusion at this level with mass effect on the thecal sac which in combination with the epidural collection results in significant central spinal stenosis at this level. There is no significant neural foraminal compromise.Advanced degenerative disc disease at L4-L5 and moderate bilateral facet and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy is also noted at this level.Examination at L3-L4 demonstrate moderate disc disease, broad base bulging disc and moderate hypertrophic changes of posterior elements with resultant significant central spinal stenosis.

Generate impression based on findings. | Female, 72 years old, with adenocarcinoma of the lung and brain metastases, on chemotherapy. Image quality is somewhat reduced relative to the prior examination which reduces sensitivity for lesional changes.Linear enhancement without edema in the right superior parietal lobule may be slightly smaller than on the prior examination, now measuring up to 8 mm, previously 10 mm. A right cerebellar enhancing lesion without edema measures up to 7 mm, previously 7 mm. Three or four small foci of enhancement within the left perirolandic white matter are not as well seen on the present examination which could simply reflect differences in image quality.An enhancing nodule within the left middle frontal gyrus is less well-defined than on the prior examination and difficult to measure accurately. However, the degree of edema associated with this lesion has decreased.No convincing evidence of any new enhancing lesion is seen. Scattered foci of nonenhancing, nonspecific white matter T2 hyperintensity are seen, some of which may be new from prior. No significant mass effect is detected. The ventricular system is stable and within normal limits. | 1.No definite evidence of any progression in the numerous previously described enhancing lesions.2.No convincing evidence of any new intracranial lesion is seen. However, the image quality on this examination is somewhat less than on the prior exam, which reduces the accuracy of comparison and the sensitivity for new lesion detection. |

Generate impression based on findings. | Male, 24 years old, multiple sclerosis. Recently diagnosed with MS, on October 2016 and has follow up with Dr Ciprianni at U of C. He was recently started on Tecfidera about 2 weeks ago. Over the last week he reports to be feeling progressive numbness on L hand and L toes. He was referred for admission for MS flare and treatment with IV steroids. Multiple imaging series are degraded by patient motion. Small T2/STIR hyperintense lesions are partially visualized on sagittal imaging in the right middle cerebellar peduncle and left cerebellar hemisphere white matter, which were better visualized on the outside brain MR examination. There are two small peripherally located foci of T2/STIR signal abnormality on the right at the C2 and C2-3 levels. The C2-3 level lesion may be new. A larger T2/STIR signal lesion in the spinal cord is present on the left from lower C4 level to the mid C6 level, which appears to be new. There is moderate associated expansion of the spinal cord at the C5 level. There is also enhancement of the lesion at the C4-C5 to the C5-C6 levels within the left and dorsal aspects of the spinal cord, suggesting active demyelination.There is normal alignment of the cervical spine, with normal cervical lordosis. Vertebral body and intervertebral disc heights are maintained. There is no significant disc bulge or herniation. No high-grade foraminal stenosis in the cervical spine, within the limitations of motion degradation. THORACIC SPINE | 1.

Generate impression based on findings. | Status post liver transplant. Known seroma with inflammation in the region of the left brachial plexus.Additional clinical history from electronic medical records: 63-year-old female with left upper extremity numbness, tingling and weakness. History of orthostatic liver transplant status on 10/5/2015 for hepatitis C/EtOH related cirrhosis with HCC. Diagnosed with CRPS type II of LUE status post liver transplant where her L arm was injured during surgery (swollen 2-3 x normal size). Had L stellate ganglion block in Marc 2016 but with only brief improvement. The surgical incision is again seen along the left upper chest. The underlying T2-hyperintensity in the left pectoris major and minor muscles remains unchanged as well as the mild distortion, probably scarring. The tiny subpectoral collection demonstrates less T2-hyperintensty and is smaller, probably a resolving seroma/hematoma. The adjacent left subclavian vein still shows slight distortion and suggestion of narrowing adjacent to a surgical clip, though looks patent upstream and downstream from this point. There is no asymmetric signal abnormality involving the left brachial plexus. There is no mass along its course but the above-described scarring findings are in the vicinity of the divisions/cords of the plexus. There are small left pectoral lymph nodes.Multilevel degenerative cervical spine disease is not significantly changed since the previous examination, most pronounced at C6-C7 where a disc extrusion with cranial migration is present minimally indenting the left ventrolateral aspect of the spinal cord. Please refer to the report of the previous cervical spine MRI from November 30, 2015 for full details. | 1.There is scarring related to the previous left upper chest incision, involving the underlying muscles. There is suggestion of underlying focal stenosis/tethering of the left subclavian vein just adjacent to a surgical clip. Patency of the vein is probably better assessed by Doppler ultrasound, if clinically warranted.2.As discussed previously, though there is no definite injury to the left brachial plexus, the plexus passes reasonably close to the subclavian vein operative field where there is evidence of some scarring and tethering which may have affected the divisions/cords of the plexus. 3.The previously described small subpectoral seroma or hematoma has further regressed. |

While the size of the sellar lesion is similar to 2004, the mass appears heterogeneously hypodense on CT which is surprising based on prior MRI appearance which was more solid appearing. This may suggest interval treatment. As before, there is remodeling of the sella by the mass, with distortion of the posterior walls of the sphenoid sinus. Relationship to the chiasm is poorly defined based on this CT.There is no acute intracranial hemorrhage with special attention to the abnormal sella turcica. There is also no focal fluid collection. Ventricles and sulci retain normal size/configuration.Gray-white matter differentiation is preserved. There is no focal parenchymal lesion or mass.

Probable small quantities of cerumen in the external auditory canals. | 1.No acute intracranial abnormality. Specifically no acute intracranial hemorrhage or generalized mass effect.2.Redemonstration of remodeled sella consistent with previously seen pituitary adenoma. The contents of the sella are now predominately hypodense which raises possibility of interval treatment. MRI would be required to evaluate extent of remaining tumor and to define relationship to surrounding structures. |
