Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 79793
  • Image ID: 53084757
  • Image stack position: 22/22
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: T1 C+
  • Modality: MRI
  • System: Central Nervous System
  • Findings: There are swelling and increased signal intensity of the right frontal lobe with edematous changes and midline shift to left side associated with meningeal and intraparenchymal enhancement in the right frontal lobe indicating meningoencephalitis. A small collection is seen overlying the right anterior frontal region, measuring around seven millimeters in thickness with mass effect. Two small ring-enhancing lesions are also seen in the right frontal lobe, suggesting abscess formation. Subdural collections are also seen along the interhemispheric fissure at the right side of fronto-parieto-occipital regions with extension laterally along the right side of tentorium measures one in half centimeter in maximum thickness, suggesting subdural empyema. All the above findings are causing restricted diffusion. Changes of paranasal sinusitis are seen. Dilated tortuous optic nerves are noticeable bilaterally indicating increased intracranial pressure.
