What does normal variant mega cisterns magna mean from my mri?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal variant: One of the collections of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in your head is larger than normal, but is of no significance. We call it mega cisterna manga and it is a "normal variant" of "normal" anatomy. No need to worry.
