Does a prominent cistern magna on mri scan mean anything bad? does this cause memory problems or affect intelligence?

Not usually: If fluid collection is not causing compression or underdevelopment of brain, then usually variation of normal, sometimes inherited. Both my son and I have prominent cisterna magni without any effect on normal brain function.
