MRI BRAIN W/WO

These images are from a MRI of the brain w/ and w/out contrast that we scanned at Lourdes. The patient had an abnormal CT scan that needed better evaluation with MRI. In the impression on the dictation of this scan it states there is agenesis of the corpus callosum, which means absence or incomplete development of the corpus callosum. You can see this in the bottom sagital image shown. The dictation also states that there is a 18 x 26 mm bilobed rim-like enhancing lesion in the right parietal lobe. It reads that this could be either an inflammatory process such as an abcess due to bacterial or fungal etiology or a neoplasm. You can see this area of interest in the other images I have shown. I found this example to be very educational to me. I had never seen agenesis of the corpus callosum. It was really neat to see such a different scan so many are normal that, as bad as it sounds, it's exciting to me when get to see different or unusal pathologies.
