I'm just dumb...

Brain MRI results in. I'm just dumb I guess....


TECHNIQUE: Study performed per protocol.

FINDINGS:

There is no hydrocephalus. No extra-axial collection is identified.

There is mild scattered paranasal sinus opacity. There are polypoid
structures at the floor of the right maxillary sinus measuring up to
18 mm, which may represent polyps or retention cysts.

There is no acute infarct. Nonspecific 8 mm focus of increased FLAIR
signal inferolateral to the right thalamus, of uncertain etiology.
Given its location and configuration, this may represent an atypical
perivascular space. Subtle symmetric increased FLAIR signal at the
medial aspect of both temporal lobes and inferomedial frontal lobes
is favored to represent artifact; doubt that this is pathologic (less
likely).

Pituitary gland is not enlarged. Cerebellar tonsils measure
approximately 4-5 mm below the foramen magnum, which is borderline
for Chiari I malformation.

Gradient sequence is unremarkable.

IMPRESSION:

1. No acute infarct.

2. Nonspecific 8 mm focus of increased FLAIR signal inferolateral to
the right thalamus, of uncertain etiology, perhaps representing an
atypical perivascular space.

3. Cerebellar tonsils measure approximately 4-5 mm below the foramen
magnum, which is borderline for Chiari I malformation.

4. Mild scattered sinus disease.
