Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (MR).

PROTOCOL:

T1W – Sagittal & axial scans

T2W – Axial & coronal scans

FLAIR – Axial scans

FINDINGS:

-Revealed:

·        Multiple gyral hyper intensity signals in both parieto-occipital regions bilaterally.

·        Bilateral basal ganglia hyper intensities including caudate and lentiform nuclei.

·        Increased hyper intensity of posterior limb of internal capsule.

·        Pan sinusitis.

·        Bilateral mastoiditis.

-Lateral and third ventricles are normal in size and position. Septum is in midline.  There is no midline shift.

-Basal cisterns, cortical sulci and gyri are normal in appearance.

-Sella is normal in appearance.

-Corpus callosum shows normal MR morphology.

-Brain stem and cerebellum show normal signal intensities. 

-Fourth ventricle is normal in size and is midline in position.

OPINION:

 ·        In light of these MR signs; picture is suggestive of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy for clinical correlation.

·        Pan sinusitis.

·        Bilateral mastoiditis.
