1.Lesion characterization is limited in the absence of intravenous contrast.
2.1.5 cm Left lobe T2 hyperintense lesion, isotense to cerebrospinal fluid on standard T2 imaging, which minimally decreases in hyperintensity compared to cerebrospinal fluid on heavily weighted T2 sequences. While this may be suggestive of a hemangioma, this lesion is not fully characterized and remains indeterminate.
3.0.5 cm Right posterior lobe T2 hyperintense lesion which remains hyperintense on heavily weighted T2 sequences. While may be suggestive of a cyst, this lesion is not fully characterize remains indeterminate.
