Please explain MRI taken for head, neck, and sinuses.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There is mild deviation of the nasal septum with convexity to the left of the mid line (attachment removed to protect patient identity). There is a mucosal polyp in the right maxillary sinus and minimal mucosal thickening. There is mild opacification of the bilateral ethmoid sinuses. There are multiple small bilateral cervical level Ia, Ib and II lymph nodes. Neck lymph nodes are commonly due to infections of the head and neck area and even mild infections can be the cause of few enlarged reactive lymph nodes.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The arrow is pointing below the third ventricle, the ventricle is mildly prominent and as such it is not of any serious concern (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Also, the mildly prominent prevascular spaces in the bilateral basal ganglia area are visualized in many normal people. The internal ear structures are normal in both ears.

The sinusitis is mild and does not require any active intervention but repeated sinus infection might need a course of antibiotics to clear the sinuses of any infection. This can cause the lymph nodes in the neck area.
