FINDINGS: There are a few scattered small foci of nonspecific nonenhancing T2/flair signal abnormality in the white matter without co-localized regions of restricted diffusion which could reflect evidence of chronic small vessel ischemic disease in a patient of this age. There is suggestion of a focal area of ill-defined enhancement in the right forceps major on present image 17 series 10) which is not clearly visualized on the sagittal postcontrast images, and is without correlate on additional imaging sequences, likely related to pulsation artifact. Alternatively, this could represent a small capillary telangiectasia. No acute intracranial hemorrhage or acute infarction is seen. No focal brain parenchymal lesion is present. No mass effect or midline shift. Ventricular size is within normal limits. No abnormal extra-axial fluid collections. No evidence of abnormal brain parenchymal or extra-axial enhancement. ...
