A member asked:

Why doesn't entrapped nerves in the skull base forament show in the mri?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Merely resolution: Mri shows larger lesions, but due to the size of many nerves, may not be accurate enough to image. Also, some nerves are mildly entrapped and images do not catch these. But not always case, as often the images do visualize the nerve problem. Matter of angles and cut width. Your doctor should be able to explain in detail.
