TECHNIQUE: MDCT axial images were acquired through the facial bones without the administration of intravenous contrast material. Multiplanar reformations were performed. COMPARISON: Reference CT head (___) from ___ at 1:08 a.m., roughly three hours earlier. FINDINGS: There is extensive right orbital emphysema, ___. This is associated with a right orbital floor blowout fracture (400b:40). There may be minimal herniation of orbital fat into the superiormost portion of the right maxillary sinus, although the extraocular muscles are appropriately situated within the right orbit. Air is seen along the medial aspect of the right orbit (2:51). The ocular globes are intact. There is a minimally-displaced coronally-oriented fracture through the bony nasal septum, without significant deviation (2:46). Mucosal thickening is seen throughout the bilateral maxillary, frontal and sphenoid sinuses, and ethmoidal air cells. There is complete opacification of several bilateral ethmoidal air cells, as well. Secretions with likely hemorrhagic content are seen within the nasopharynx. The ostiomeatal units are severely narrowed, bilaterally, secondary to maxillary sinus mucosal thickening. The laminae papyracea and cribriform plates appear intact. Note is made of endotracheal and orogastric tubes. This study was not optimized for evaluation of the intracranial contents. A subtle left frontotemporal subdural hematoma is better seen on the accompanying head CT from ___. IMPRESSION: 1. "Blow-out" fracture of the right orbital floor without evidence of extraocular muscle entrapment. 2. Minimally displaced fracture of the bony nasal septum. 3. Extensive paranasal sinus inflammatory disease. NOTE ADDED IN ATTENDING REVIEW: As above, there is a slightly-displaced fracture of the right orbital floor, with herniation of fat through the defect. No displacement or frank impalement of the extra-ocular muscles or other periorbita is seen. However, there is a relatively large "trap-door" fragment, transgressing the infra-orbital foramen, measuring 22 mm (AP) x 9 mm (TRV). The right globe is intact with normally-positioned lens, and no blood in either the anterior or posterior chamber, which appear symmetric with the contralateral globe. The minimally-displaced fracture of the bony nasal septum is associated with corresponding fractures of the nasal bones, also little displaced with no overall angulation of the nasal skeleton. The nasofrontal process, maxillary spine and hard palate are intact.

INDICATION: Second read request on outside hospital CT. The patient is status post MVC, car versus tree. TECHNIQUE: Axial CT images were acquired from the thoracic inlet through the lesser trochanters at the ___. Multiplanar reformations were performed. COMPARISON: None. CHEST CT: Motion artifact slightly limits evaluation of this study. Diffuse ground-glass opacities throughout both lungs are consistent with atelectasis given the expiratory phase of this study. Slightly more consolidative opacities in the right upper lobe (2:23,2:25) could be small pulmonary contusions or additional regions of atelectasis. There are no pleural effusions. No pneumothorax is seen. The airways are patent to the subsegmental levels bilaterally. The thoracic aorta is unremarkable. The heart is grossly normal. There is no pericardial effusion. No pathologically enlarged mediastinal, hilar, or axillary lymph nodes are seen. The visualized portion of the thyroid gland is unremarkable. ABDOMEN CT: The liver is grossly normal. There is no intrahepatic biliary duct dilatation. The portal vein is patent. The gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, adrenal glands, and kidneys are unremarkable.

EXAMINATION: MR ___ AND W/O CONTRAST ___ MR SPINE INDICATION: ___ year old woman with hematoma near R hip prosthesis, Presacral mass TECHNIQUE: Sagittal imaging was performed with T2, T1, and STIR technique, followed by axial T2 imaging. This was followed by sagittal and axial T1 images obtained after the uneventful intravenous administration of 5 mL of ___ contrast agent. COMPARISON: CT abdomen pelvis from ___. FINDINGS: Spinal labeling has been provided on series 5, image 11, and is based on the last costal process seen on the CT performed on the prior day. There is sacralization of the L5 vertebral body. Moderate anterior wedge compression deformity of L1 is demonstrated, however without definite evidence of increased STIR signal abnormality, of indeterminate chronicity. Severe compression fracture of L2 with vertebral plana centrally and moderate retropulsed bowing of the posterior cortex into the central canal. Mild compression deformity of the L3 vertebral body, specifically the loss of height of the middle column demonstrates mild increased STIR/T2 signal abnormality. Mild enhancement is seen involving the L3 vertebral body. The presacral mass, is partially visualized and better evaluated on the MRI of the sacrum performed on the same day. T12-L1: Mild central disc bulge is seen however there is no significant spinal canal stenosis. Facet joint and endplate arthropathy contributes to mild left and moderate right neuroforaminal narrowing. L1-L2: Left central disc bulge is seen, which in combination with ligamentum flavum hypertrophy contributes to moderate canal narrowing. Facet joint arthropathy contributes to mild left neuroforaminal narrowing. The right neuroforamen is patent. L2-L3: Left central disc bulge is seen, which in combination with facet joint arthropathy contributes to mild canal narrowing. Facet joint osteophytes contribute to severe left and moderate right neuroforaminal narrowing. L3-L4: Central disc bulge, and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy contributes to mild canal narrowing. Facet joint osteophytes contribute to severe left and moderate right neuroforaminal narrowing. L4-L5: Mild central disc bulge is seen, which in combination with ligamentum flavum hypertrophy contributes to mild canal narrowing. Facet joint osteophytes in the left facet joint effusion is seen resulting in moderate to severe left and moderate right neuroforaminal narrowing. IMPRESSION: 1. Spinal labeling has been provided on series 5, image 11 based on the last costal process of the prior CT. Note is made of sacralization of the L5 vertebral body. 2. Moderate anterior wedge compression deformity of L1, is of indeterminate chronicity. 3. Severe compression fracture with vertebral plana centrally of L2 and moderate retropulsed bowing of the posterior cortex in the central canal, results in moderate canal narrowing. This is also of indeterminate chronicity, and an underlying neoplastic or inflammatory process cannot be excluded but appears less likely. No definite enhancement is seen. 4. Increased STIR hyperintensity of L3, with mild enhancement and loss of height of the middle column, suggest a subacute compression deformity. 5. Presacral mass, incompletely visualized on this exam, better evaluated on the dedicated MRI of the sacrum.

EXAMINATION: MRI SACRUM/SI JOINTS WANDW/O CONTRAST INDICATION: ___ year old woman with pain // fx TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar images of the sacrum were performed prior to and following the administration of intravenous contrast using a sacroiliitis MR protocol. COMPARISON: MRI right hip ___, CT ___. FINDINGS: There is a small right sacroiliac joint effusion. Some minimal marrow edema is seen in the right sacral ala and right iliac bone, similar perhaps slightly improved compared to previous MRI. No bone erosion is demonstrated. Small foci of STIR 6 signal hyperintensity are demonstrated in the left iliac bone and left sacral ala (series 7, image 18, 17). These are a likely unchanged allowing for difference in technique compared with previous MRI (STIR sequence series 3, image 30, 29). There is no evidence of acute fracture. There is artifact related to right hip hardware. Some mild edema is demonstrated about the right iliac bone, likely decreased compared to previous study. There are degenerative changes at the L5-S1 facet joints more marked on left. There is sigmoid colon diverticulosis. There is a mass lesion contacting the anterior aspect of the sacrum. This is heterogeneous in signal intensity on T1, predominantly hyperintense to skeletal muscle. The lesion measures 3.5 cm transverse, 2.6 cm anterior to posterior, 3.6 cm in craniocaudal dimension. The lesion is heterogeneously STIR hyperintense. Evaluation on precontrast fat suppressed images is limited by artifact. I suspect some enhancement within lesion based on the post-contrast images but evaluation is limited due to degraded precontrast images. In addition to the dominant mass lesion, there is impression of some more ill-defined soft tissue thickening along the anterior aspect of the mid and lower sacrum. The previous exam technique did not well evaluate this area however I suspect the lesion was subtly present on previous axial STIR sequence (series 5, image 4) of the previous study. Bladder diverticula are noted. Compression deformities at multiple levels in the lumbar spine are demonstrated. I note that dedicated lumbar spine imaging was performed same day, more completely evaluating these. IMPRESSION: 1. Small effusion at the right sacroiliac joint, but no bone erosion. Mild bone edema about the right sacroiliac joint appears similar or slightly improved compared to prior. 2. Small nonspecific foci of STIR hyperintensity in the left sacral ala and left iliac bone are likely stable from previous exam. 3. No acute fracture. 4. Presacral soft tissue mass is nonspecific but could represent extramedullary hematopoiesis. Alternative neoplastic etiology is not completely excluded. The lesion however was likely present on previous exam from ___ without gross change although direct comparison is limited by difference in scan technique. 5. Sigmoid colon diverticulosis. 6. Bladder diverticulosis. 7. Lumbar spine compression deformities better evaluated on MRI sacrum performed same day.
