focus of signal abnormality within the corpus callosum or brainstem. There is no definite abnormal focus of parenchymal
or meningeal enhancement. There is normal enhancement of the major dural venous sinuses. There is normal
enhancement of the major arteries at the skull base. There is no acute intraorbital abnormality or gross orbital
