Title
Facial MRI with and without Intravenous Contrast
Clinical History
Patient-specific — populated from user input at report time. Shows "None" if not provided.
Comparison
No prior studies available for comparison.
Technique
T1-weighted axial, coronal and sagittal sequences of the face were obtained, as well as T2-weighted axial and STIR axial and coronal sequences. After administration of intravenous gadolinium, fat-suppressed T1-weighted SPIR axial, coronal, and sagittal images were obtained.
Findings
Comprehensive evaluation of facial structures demonstrates no evidence of mass or abnormal enhancement.
Soft Tissues and Masses:
No evidence of mass or abnormal enhancing lesion within the face.
Orbits:
The orbits appear unremarkable, with no evidence of mass or abnormal enhancing lesion.
Extraocular Muscles:
The extraocular muscles appear unremarkable.
Parotid Glands:
The parotid glands appear unremarkable.
Submandibular Glands:
The submandibular glands appear unremarkable.
Thyroid Gland:
The thyroid gland appears unremarkable.
Lymph Nodes:
A few non-enlarged lymph nodes are noted in the jugular chains bilaterally, including at the levels of the carotid bifurcations bilaterally. No pathologically enlarged or necrotic lymph node is seen.
Pituitary Gland and Sellar Region:
The pituitary stalk appears unremarkable, and there is no evidence of impingement upon the optic chiasm.
Cavernous Sinuses:
The cavernous sinuses appear unremarkable.
Paranasal Sinuses:
The paranasal sinuses appear unremarkable.
Nasopharynx:
The nasopharynx appears unremarkable.
Impression
No evidence of mass or abnormal enhancing lesion in the face.
