A member asked:
I had an mra of the head. everything was normal except on the report it says left vertebral artery mildly dominant. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: It means that the left vertebral artery is slightly larger in diameter than the right. Mild size differences between the vertebral arteries are very common normal variations.
