To be more Clear... about Max's MRI Result......

Hello, and Happy Thanksgiving Week!! So I thought I would write what the Doctor has said to me... or given me in the MRI report. As many have e-mailed me and asked me.... I guess I didn't very well explain it. Findings: No restricted diffusion is seen. The patients udnergone a left enucleation. Stable subtle stranding is noted within the intraconal fat. The Prosthesis is normally positioned. No abnormal enhancement is noted within the optic chiasm or optic tracks to suggest recurrece. No extra axial masses or collections are identified. The 4th venntricle is normal in size and is in the midline, the 3rd and lateral ventricles are normal in size, shape and configuration. The cerebral, cerebellar and brainstem parenchyma demonstrate normal signal characterisitic. No untoward areas of enhancement are identified. The dural sinuses are intact, flow void is seen within the basilar and carotid arteries at the level of the cavernous sinuses. The cavernous sinuses are grossly normal. The pituitary glad in normal in signal, as the optic chiasm. The paranasal sinuses are clear.Of note, there is a rim enhancing, T2 hyerintensity adjacent to the right sphenoid that likely represents an opacified air cell in connection with the sphenoid. Since this lesion had progressively increased in size in the comparison to multiple prior studies close follow-up with MRI is recommended in 3 months.1. Stable postoperactive changes after the left enucleation without evidence of recurrance.2. T2 hyperintense lesion within the right sphenoid, likely representing mucus within the aerated sphenoid wing. However, since this lesion had increased in size in comparison to mutiple proirs progressively, close follow-up at 3 months is recommended. Vanderbilt University Medical Center. So Thats what Max has, did I put it any clearer.... The way Miss Tara talked like was he just has Mucus build up in his sinus. She asked if he had headaches, how do you know if your 2 year old has a headache?? Anyway-- I have to go now, Max is jumping on my bed and he's gonna fall off.... No more Monkey's jumping on the bed!!
