MR HEAD:

Clinical history:   6 day-old with hypotonia and a head CT read as bilateral occipital subdural (could also be occipitosubdural) hematomas.

MR:  Sagittal T1 weighted images obtained followed by axial variable echo images, coronal weighted images and coronal SPGR images.

FINDINGS:  Area of increased attenuation on the CT is evaluated with MR and felt to be normal dural venous sinuses. There is no evidence of subdural hematoma. However, there is some overlapping of the sutures of the Iambdoidal occipital (could also be lambdoido-occipital) regions bilaterally. Subdural space is observed, however, between the brain parenchyma and the overlying skull. The ventricles and sulci are normal in size. There are no abnormal CSF collections. The distribution of the grey matter is normal. The corpus callosum is normal in appearance.

IMPRESSION:

• Some overlapping of the sutures in the lambdoidal occipital regions bilaterally.
• No evidence of subdural hematoma.
• Normal infant brain.

MRI KNEE:  Left knee scanned in the coronal projection utilizing a T1 weighted sequence and in sagittal projection utilizing proton density, T2, and gradient echo sequences.

FINDINGS:  The cruciate ligaments and collateral ligaments are well seen and appear normal. There is no evidence of tear of the meniscus. No joint effusion is present or V subchondral abnormalities are identified. The cartilage appears to be intact. The patella is normal in appearance in extension and 20 degrees of flexion with no evidence of cartilage thinning or abnormal position.

IMPRESSION:  Normal MRI left knee. MRI SHOULDER:  Prep and technique as in previous reports.

FINDINGS:  There is a partial tear of the supraspinatus tendon near its insertion. No discontinuity is seen in the tendon and no definite fluid is seen in the subacromial bursa. No muscular atrophy is noted. The acromion has a normal configuration with no hypertrophy at the acromioclavicularjoint. The glenoid labrum appears intact and the biceps tendon is in normal position.

IMPRESSION:

• At least partial tear of the supraspinatus tendon near the insertion.
• No definite evidence of complete tear.
