Findings:
No intra- or extra-axial mass lesion or collection is identified. The ventricles and sulcal spaces are within normal limits. There is no midline shift.
Axial T2-weighted images show increased signal intensity and gliosis in the dorsal part of the putamina and thalami. The remainder of the brain parenchyma is unremarkable without evidence of any diffusion restriction. No abnormal signal on the susceptibility-weighted images.
The midline structures are normal.
The orbits, paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear.
No bony abnormality is seen. The craniocervical junction is normal.
Conclusion:
Areas of gliosis involving the putamina and thalami, likely in keeping with perinatal profound hypoxic–ischaemic brain injury and the clinically diagnosed dyskinetic cerebral palsy.
