EXAM:  CT HEAD W/O CONTRAST

REASON FOR EXAM:  Pain

INTERPRETATION:

CLINICAL HISTORY:  Dementia, right-sided weakness

TECHNIQUE:  Axial images of the brain are obtained without contrast material only

FINDINGS:  There is dilation of the lateral ventricles without midline shift. Third and fourth ventricles are midline. No extraaxial fluid collections are demonstrated. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage. Scattered areas of decreased density are seen within the centrum semiovale. No focal cortical lesions are evident. Images at the bony windows are essentially unremarkable.

CONCLUSION:
Central and peripheral atrophy with deep white matter ischemia.
There is no evidence of an acute intracranial process.
