EXAMINATION: CTA HEAD WANDW/O C AND RECONS Q1213 CT HEAD INDICATION: ___ year old man with skull base lesion, please perform CT/CTA with image guidance/EEA protocol (include tip of nose, NO eye shield). // Evaluate anatomy, Pre-operative planning TECHNIQUE: Contiguous MDCT axial images were obtained through the brain without contrast material. Next, rapid axial imaging was performed through the brain during the uneventful infusion of 70 mL of Omnipaque intravenous contrast material. Three-dimensional angiographic volume rendered and segmented images were then generated on a dedicated workstation. This report is based on interpretation of all of these images. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) CT Localizer Radiograph 2) CT Localizer Radiograph 3) Sequenced Acquisition 18.0 s, 18.0 cm; CTDIvol = 50.2 mGy (Head) DLP = 903.1 mGy-cm. 4) Stationary Acquisition 5.5 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 59.9 mGy (Head) DLP = 30.0 mGy-cm. 5) Spiral Acquisition 3.7 s, 28.9 cm; CTDIvol = 30.6 mGy (Head) DLP = 881.7 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Head) = 1,815 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: Comparison is made to MRI/ MRA of the brain from earlier today, as well as outside CTA of the head from ___. FINDINGS: CT HEAD WITHOUT CONTRAST: There is re- demonstration of a hyperdense mass centered in the right cavernous sinus, with extension into the right sphenoid sinus and erosion of the clivus and sella on the right (02:12). Elsewhere, there is no evidence of acute vascular territorial infarction, intracranial hemorrhage, or edema. The ventricles and sulci are normal in size and configuration. The middle ear cavities and mastoid air cells are clear, as are the bilateral maxillary and frontal sinuses. The orbits are unremarkable. CTA HEAD: Multiple serpiginous, tear-drop shaped, and rounded foci of arterial enhancement centered within the right cavernous sinus mass suggest dense vascularity or pseudoaneurysm formation (3:111), although there is no distinct connection between the apparent internal carotid artery on the right. No sequelae of carotid cavernous fistula is noted, as the parent right internal carotid artery is normal in caliber, with no evidence of aneurysmal formation or stenosis, in the superior right ophthalmic vein is normal in appearance. The mass measures approximately 3.0 x 1.8 cm in the axial plane, not significantly changed. There is slight ___ lateral displacement of the right internal carotid artery, which is otherwise unremarkable. The remaining vessels of the circle of ___ and their principal intracranial branches appear normal with no evidence of stenosis,occlusion or aneurysm. The dural major venous sinuses are patent. The previously described expansile lytic lesion centered in the right mandibular ramus demonstrates postcontrast enhancement centrally (2:2, 3:70). Along the inferior aspect of the mass as it approaches the angle of the mandible, there is anterior cortical bone loss (03:56). The patient is partially edentulous along the posterior right mandible, with absence of the first through third molars, and a small amount of residual soft tissue or fluid in the expected location of the first and second mandibular molars on the right (03:39, 46). IMPRESSION: 1. Lobulated, densely vascular mass is centered in the right cavernous sinus and appears partially cystic, with extension into the right sphenoid sinus and erosion of the right clivus and sella. Differential diagnosis is broad and includes ___'s cell histiocytosis, sarcoma, and less likely atypical hemangioma or atypical mucocele. 2. Expansile, lytic lesion in the right mandible with central enhancing component could also be explained by ___'s cell histiocytosis or sarcoma. 3. Numerous enhancing blood vessels and possible pseudoaneurysms within the right cavernous sinus mass are demonstrated on the CTA, and although the right internal carotid artery is slightly anterolaterally displaced, there is no evidence of internal carotid artery stenosis or discrete feeding vessel. 4. No CTA sequelae of carotid-cavernous fistula. RECOMMENDATION(S): Dedicated catheter angiogram is recommended for further evaluation of findings described in IMPRESSION #'s 1 and 3.

EXAMINATION: MRI AND MRA BRAIN PT12 MR HEAD INDICATION: ___ year old male with headaches, visual changes, CN3 and 6 deficits with sphenoid sinus mass eroding into cavernous sinus. TECHNIQUE: 3 dimensional time-of-flight MRA was performed through the brain. Three dimensional maximum intensity projection and segmented images were generated. Sagittal and axial T1 weighted imaging were performed along with diffusion imaging. After administration of 8 mL of Gadavist intravenous contrast, axial imaging was performed with gradient echo, FLAIR, T2, and T1 technique. Sagittal MPRAGE imaging was performed and re-formatted in axial and coronal orientations. This report is based on interpretation of all of these images. COMPARISON: Head CT/CTA from ___. FINDINGS: MRI BRAIN: There is a 2.8 cm AP x 2.1 cm TR x 1.9 cm SI lobulated, heterogeneous mass within the right lateral aspect of the cavernous sinus and within the right sphenoid sinus. The mass demonstrates hyperintensity with multiple linear foci of low signal (likely flow voids) on T2 weighted images, isointensity to the brain with multiple small foci of hyperintensity (likely flow related enhancement within small blood vessels) on precontrast T1 weighted images, and relatively homogeneous enhancement on postcontrast T1 weighted images. The mass appeared hypervascular on the preceding CTA. The mass extends into the sella, displacing the pituitary gland superiorly and to the left, and displacing the infundibulum to the left. The pituitary gland approaches but does not compress the optic chiasm on the right. The preceding CTA demonstrates erosion of the right sellar floor. There is abnormal signal in the right lateral clivus, where the preceding CTA demonstrates erosion. Slightly asymmetric there dural enhancement along the right medial floor of the middle cranial fossa is seen, which may be reactive or may indicate invasion. There is an expansile T2 hyperintense enhancing lesion involving the right mandibular body, angle, and ramus, which was partially visualized on the preceding CTA. Within the brain parenchyma, there is no evidence for edema, abnormal diffusion, blood products, or mass. There is mild mucosal thickening in the ethmoid air cells. MRA BRAIN: The intracranial vertebral and internal carotid arteries and their major branches appear widely patent without evidence for flow-limiting stenosis or aneurysm formation. Fetal configuration of the right posterior cerebral artery is noted with a small P1 segment and a large right posterior communicating artery, a normal variant. While the preceding CTA demonstrated a large blood vessel with the same density as the arteries within the right cavernous sinus/sphenoid mass, the present MRA demonstrates no definite arterial flow within the mass. The mass displaces the right cavernous carotid artery anterolaterally without narrowing. IMPRESSION: 1. Large lobulated mass within the right cavernous sinus mass and the right sphenoid sinus, with erosion into the right aspect of the sella and erosion of the right clivus. The mass demonstrates multiple small blood vessels. While the CTA from one day earlier demonstrated a large blood vessel with same density as other arteries within the mass, the present MRA does not demonstrate any arterial flow within the mass. 2. Expansile aggressive lesion in the right mandible, which is only partially included on the present MRI and the preceding CT, and is therefore not optimally assessed. 3. Diagnostic considerations for the right cavernous sinus/right sphenoid sinus mass include atypical aggressive hemangioma (although the large blood vessel with arterial density on the preceding CTA new would be unusual even for an atypical hemangioma). Diagnostic considerations for both above-described lesions include Langerhans cell histiocytosis and sarcoma. Metastatic disease is less likely but may also be considered in an appropriate clinical setting. 4. The right cavernous internal carotid artery is displaced anterolaterally by the right cavernous sinus/sphenoid mass without narrowing. RECOMMENDATION(S): 1. Recommend conventional cerebral angiography to determine whether there is any arterial flow within the right cavernous sinus/sphenoid sinus mass. 2.

EXAMINATION: MR HEAD W/O CONTRAST T9113 MR HEAD INDICATION: ___ year old man with concern for first time seizure. Evaluate for stroke or seizure focus. TECHNIQUE: Sagittal MP RAGE with multiplanar reformations, sagittal 3D FLAIR with multiplanar reformations, coronal FSTIR, axial diffusion weighted, and axial gradient echo images of the brain were obtained. All images were reviewed in the production of this report. The examination was performed using a 1.5T MRI scanner. COMPARISON: Head CT from ___ FINDINGS: There is no evidence of edema, mass effect, acute infarction, or blood products. Prominence of the ventricles and sulci is compatible with involutional changes. Small foci of high T2 signal in the periventricular, deep, and subcortical white matter of the cerebral hemispheres are nonspecific but likely reflect sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease in this age group. Symmetric severe volume loss of the bilateral hippocampi is disproportionate to the moderate age-related parenchymal volume loss in the remainder of the brain. No hippocampal signal abnormalities are seen. No other structural abnormalities are seen. IMPRESSION: 1. No evidence of a seizure focus on non-contrast MRI. No evidence for acute intracranial abnormalities. 2. Severe, symmetric bilateral hippocampal volume loss is disproportionate to the moderate age-related parenchymal volume loss in the remainder of the brain. Please correlate with any memory problems.

Patient could not tolerate the entire exam. Contrast enhanced images could not be obtained. COMPARISON: No prior pelvic MRI available comparison. Left hip CT ___. FINDINGS: There is susceptibility artifact at both hips, compatible with previous surgery. Mildly enlarged inguinal lymph nodes bilaterally measure 1.3 cm short axis on the left, 1.1 cm on the right. Diffuse muscle atrophy is seen. Along the anterolateral border of the right psoas muscle at the level of the iliac crest, there is a rounded focus of mixed signal abnormality measuring 3.1 by 2.2 cm. This is heterogeneous on T1 weighted imaging but largely T1 hyperintense. On STIR sequence, this lesion is centrally hyperintense, peripherally hypointense. There is some retroperitoneal fat stranding on the T1 weighted images surrounding this lesion. There is subcutaneous edema in the lower posterior gluteal region. There is also mild patchy muscle edema along the inferior medial aspect of the gluteus maximus muscles, asymmetrically more marked on the right (series 4, image 31). The sacral marrow signal is preserved with no evidence of edema or signal loss on T1 weighted imaging. Mild cortical contour abnormality at the junction of the S2 and S3 segments suggests prior injury. Degenerative changes at L5-S1 are seen. There appears to be some edema of the scrotal soft tissues however this is incompletely evaluated on this exam. Bilateral anterior gluteal subcutaneous edema also noted. IMPRESSION: 1. Limited exam as patient could not tolerate the entire study, including omission of contrast-enhanced evaluation. 2. Soft tissue edema at the posterior lower gluteal region could reflect cellulitis in this clinical setting. Edema of the adjacent gluteal musculature which is more marked on the right could reflect myositis, and early pyomyositis is not excluded. No large fluid collection is demonstrated, however evaluation for microabscess formation is limits on noncontrast exam. 3. The sacrum and coccyx do not demonstrate evidence of osteomyelitis. 4. There is a right sided retroperitoneal ovoid area of signal abnormality which is partly T1 hyperintense, suggestive of a retroperitoneal hematoma, possibly nonacute. 5. Soft tissue edema in the scrotum, incompletely evaluated, recommend clinical evaluation. Recommendation: Consider further evaluation with contrast-enhanced CT which may better depict the retroperitoneal lesion in addition to excluding small rim enhancing foci of microabscess formation the right gluteal region. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed with Dr ___, M.D. by ___ ___, M.D. on the telephone on ___ at 6:10 ___, 10 minutes after discovery of the findings.

FINDINGS: GASTROINTESTINAL: The visualized small bowel loops demonstrate normal caliber, wall thickness, and enhancement throughout. There is stool throughout the colon. PELVIS: The urinary bladder is incompletely distended and largely obscured due to streak artifact from the patient's hip prostheses. Along the right psoas muscle, there is a 3.6 x 3.3 cm fluid collection. This was seen on the prior MRI. This could represent a retroperitoneal hematoma ; however, superimposed in cannot be completely excluded in the appropriate clinical setting. REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: The area of the reproductive organs is completely obscured by streak artifact. LYMPH NODES: Prominent lymph nodes in the inguinal regions may be reactive. VASCULAR: Moderate atherosclerotic disease is noted. BONES: The patient is status post bilateral total hip replacement. SOFT TISSUES: There is diffuse subcutaneous edema throughout the visualized subcutaneous soft tissues. A small subcutaneous collect of fluid in the right buttock (series 3, image 18) measures 4.0 x 1.5 cm. While this could be related to a subcutaneous injection, a small abscess collection cannot be completely excluded. .

INDICATION: ___ year old woman with ESRD on HD, acute on chronic diffuse abdominal pain, fecalization on KUB. // Evaluate for bowel obstruction, perforation TECHNIQUE: Single phase split bolus contrast: MDCT axial images were acquired through the abdomen and pelvis following intravenous contrast administration with split bolus technique. Oral contrast was not administered. Coronal and sagittal reformations were performed and reviewed on PACS. DOSE: Acquisition sequence: 1) Stationary Acquisition 4.5 s, 0.5 cm; CTDIvol = 21.7 mGy (Body) DLP = 10.8 mGy-cm. 2) Spiral Acquisition 4.0 s, 44.4 cm; CTDIvol = 6.9 mGy (Body) DLP = 305.2 mGy-cm. 3) Spiral Acquisition 0.9 s, 10.0 cm; CTDIvol = 6.9 mGy (Body) DLP = 68.9 mGy-cm. Total DLP (Body) = 385 mGy-cm. COMPARISON: CTA chest: ___. CT abdomen pelvis: ___. FINDINGS: LOWER CHEST: Subsegmental atelectasis is noted in the left lung base (2:4). There is no pleural or pericardial effusion. Dense calcifications are noted in the Coronary arteries. There is a small hiatal hernia. ABDOMEN: HEPATOBILIARY: There is new widespread portal venous gas in the right and left hepatic lobes compared to the prior study from ___ (2:7, 10, 16). No focal lesion is identified in the liver. The patient is post cholecystectomy, with unchanged mild central intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary ductal prominence. Along the inferior tip of the right hepatic lobe, there is a dropped metallic surgical clip (02:19). PANCREAS: The pancreas has normal attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions or pancreatic ductal dilatation. There is no peripancreatic stranding. SPLEEN: A 1.3 x 1.4 cm splenic hypodensity is unchanged compared to the prior study, likely benign such as a hemangioma. Other dense calcifications within the spleen may be partly vascular as the splenic artery is heavily calcified. Prior granulomatous infection can also result in coarse splenic calcifications. Multiple small accessory spleens are noted (2:23, 25). ADRENALS: The right and left adrenal glands are normal in size and shape. URINARY: The kidneys are atrophic bilaterally, with numerous small hypodensities, too small to characterize but grossly unchanged. There is no hydronephrosis or perinephric abnormality bilaterally. No renal mass is identified. GASTROINTESTINAL: There is diffuse wall thickening and edema throughout the cecum and proximal ascending colon (___:19). Small foci of pneumatosis are also noted in the cecum and ascending colon (02:50, 46). Also in the ascending colon, there is focal lack of mucosal mucosal wall enhancement (02:44) and air within adjacent mesenteric veins (02:40). Small bowel loops demonstrate normal caliber, wall thickness, and enhancement throughout. Numerous surgical clips are present about the cecal base in the right lower quadrant (___:22), unchanged. Additionally, coarse calcifications along the right pericolic gutter are unchanged (02:44). PELVIS: The urinary bladder and distal ureters are unremarkable. There is no free fluid in the pelvis. LYMPH NODES: Retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy is again noted, measuring up to 1.1 x 2.0 cm in the right common iliac station (02:39), unchanged. There is no pelvic or inguinal lymphadenopathy. VASCULAR: The abdominal aorta and principal branch vessels are densely calcified, including the bilateral renal arteries. The celiac trunk and its branch vessels, as well as the superior mesenteric artery appear patent. BONES: The bones are diffusely sclerotic, compatible with sequelae of renal osteodystrophy. There is persistent grade anterolisthesis of L4 on 5. A right hip total arthroplasty the is again seen. Densely sclerotic left femoral head potentially represents avascular necrosis, although this is somewhat difficult to ascertain given diffuse sclerotic appearance of osseous structures elsewhere. There is no evidence of femoral head collapse. Extensive subchondral cystic change is also noted at the left femoroacetabular joint. SOFT TISSUES: The abdominal and pelvic wall is within normal limits. IMPRESSION: 1. New extensive portal venous gas and other findings are highly concerning for bowel necrosis involving the cecum and ascending colon. In the setting of extensive atherosclerotic disease, an ischemic cause is considered most likely. However longstanding immunosuppression could contribute to an infectious etiology such as typhlitis, given cecal and right colonic distribution. 2. Bilateral atrophic kidneys and mild retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy are unchanged compared to the prior study. 3. Diffuse osseous sclerosis is unchanged, reflecting the sequelae of renal osteodystrophy. NOTIFICATION: The findings were discussed by Dr. ___ with Dr. ___ resident) on the telephoneon ___ at 9:57 AM, 5 minutes after discovery of the findings.
