Caption: Coronal section of the brain
Description: Multiple thin-walled cysts are noted within the brain parenchyma bilaterally.
|
|
Caption: Coronal section through the frontal horns
Description: The numerous cysts replacing the brain parenchyma are seen again. The ventricles are mildly dilated, each measuring 5 mm at the frontal horns.
|
|
Caption: Coronal through the ventricular atria
Description: The brain parenchyma is reduced to thick septae between the cysts.
|
|
Caption: Sagittal scan through the temporal lobe
Description: The extent of the cystic lesions is again demonstrated.
|
|
Caption: Para-sagittal scan on the opposite side
Description: Slightly more brain tissue is present but the bulk of the intracranial space is occupied by the cystic lesions. Also to be noted is that there is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage and no parenchymal calcifications.
|
|
Caption: Coronal color Doppler scan
Description: The cerebral vessels are seen traversing between the cysts. The cyst walls per se show no vascularity.
|
|
Caption: Non contrast enhanced axial CT scan
Description: This CT image demonstrates the numerous bilateral cysts. This pattern is compatible with extensive bilateral infarction and liquefaction of the brain parenchyma.
