MRI FACE
FINDINGS:-
Calvarium:
- Both zygomatic arches appear normal without any fracture.
- Bony nasal septum is mildly deviated towards left side. Vomer appears normal.
- Both orbital walls appear normal in configuration with intact globes.
Mandible:
- Body, angle and symphysis menti of mandible appear normal.
- Alveolar process appear unremarkable.
- Both coronoid and condylar processes of mandible appear normal in attenuation.
- Temporomandibular articulation appears normal. No evidence of dislocation.
Maxilla:
- Body and alveolar process of maxilla appear normal in configuration.
- Both nasal and zygomatic processes of maxilla appear normal.
- Maxillary antrum appears normal in attenuation bilaterally with preserved bony walls.
Sinuses:
- Note is made of mildly deviated nasal septum towards left side.
- Both maxillary sinuses and both frontal sinuses show no abnormality.
- No collections are seen in maxillary sinuses.
- Sphenoid sinuses appear normal in attenuation bilaterally.
Pterygoid, Ethmoid and Sphenoid:
- Body and plates of pterygoid appears normal in configuration and attenuation bilaterally.
- Pterygopalatine fissures appear normal bilaterally.
- Ethmoid appears normal bilaterally with preserved air-cells.
- Body and greater wing of sphenoid appear normal.
Miscellaneous:
- Study reveal presence of a well defined round to oval shaped mass lesion measuring ~ 26 x 25 x 23 mm (APxCCxTR) appearing heterogeneously hyperintense on STIR sequences, heterogeneously hypointense on T1W with areas of hyperintensity within it noted in the left parotid gland with no significant surrounding inflammatory changes. Possibility of pleomorphic adenoma / other pathologies. Advice: contrast study for better evaluation of the lesion.
- Rest soft tissues are unremarkable.
- Visualized vertebrae show no fracture or dislocation.
Please correlate clinically.
