Clinical Data: Clinical Data:

• Pain; weakness and parenthesis
• Facial palsy.
• Sterile lumbar puncture with high protein level.

Brain and Lumbo-sacral spines MR Imaging revealed:

• Evidence of surface thickening and contrast enhancement on the conus medularis and the nerve roots of the cauda equina (SE: 18& IM: 9-11).
• It enhancement is accentuated more on the anterior nerve roots if compared with the posterior ones.
• Comparing this recent study to the previous one done in 15/06/2017; the intensity of enhancement and thickness is mildly reduced in the former if compared to the latter.
• Normal MR Morphology of the brain; cervical and dorsal spines.

Impression:

• Presence of clinical data mentioned above (which are not available in the request of the first examination done on 15/06/2017) in addition to the MRI findings given in this report; give impression of Guillain Barre syndrome for clinical correlation.
