Stereo protocol. Technique: Axial T1 post contrast images of the brain was obtained following uneventful administration of 7 mL of intravenous Magnevist. Findings: There is a peripherally enhancing lesion involving the right anterior inferior temporal lobe measuring 1.2 x 1.2 cm. There is minimal adjacent edema without significant mass effect around this lesion. There is an additional area of focal enhancement along the base of the right sphenoid wing 12 x 6 mm. When comparing to the previous CT of the head, no bony destruction or sclerosis noted. There is a tiny hypointense lesion in the left deep cerebral white matter which corresponds to focus of FLAIR signal abnormality on the previous brain MRI. There is no midline shift or hydrocephalus. Paranasal sinuses are clear.
