A member asked:
Is a mega cisterna magma larger than a prominent cisterna magna?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The same : I'm not a neurosurgeon but I believe both are the same. A mega cisterna magna refers to adult patients with significantly enlarged CSF retrocerebellar cisterns in the posterior fossa with normal cerebellar morphology. Controversy remains around whether mega cisterna magna is a normal anatomical variant or due to volume loss of the cerebellum.
