A member asked:
When an mri reads borderline cerebellar tonsillar ectopia, is there a possibility of it going down some more? any physical activity restriction needed
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low cerebellar tonsi: Borderline cerebellar tonsillar ectopia (low lying) is very common and has no clinical significance. There is no activity restriction. It should not progress unless transiently after a spinal tap. You should let your doctor know if you are going for a spinal tap.
