MR1 HEAD
TECHNIQUE:
Muitipianar SE Ti, FSE T2, FLAIR and gadolinium enhanced images were obtained.
FINDINGS:
A large, expansile focus of intermediate low signal on Ti WI and bright on FLAIR and T2 WI is noted in the midbrain and pons measuring 3.5 x 3.6 x 4.6 cm.
No enhancement is seen upon administration of contrast.
Anteriorly, the mass extends to the prepontine cistern and surrounds the basilar artery.
Posteriorly, it displaces the fourth ventricle but shows no evidence of compression.
There is no extension of the lesion into the medulla and spinal cord.
Both cerebral hemispheres show normal signal intensity. No anormal bright signal intensity changes or enhancement is noted.
Ventricles are normal in size. There are no shifts in the midline cerebral structures.

It appears that you have a cranial tumor. The phrase "the mass" is the clue for the layperson. Ask you doctor right away and/or call the physician that wrote the report. Get answers as to the diagnosis and treatment alternatives. Most cranial tumors are astrocytoma but there are a few that are benign. All tumors of this area need treatment. Radiation is usually the modality that can help shrink the lesion, benign or malignant. Good luck

There is nothing wrong with the brain that the MRI found.
