A member asked:

One of my friend is suffering from headache she told me she has prominent cisterna magna i want to know is this harmful and can you suggest treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Headache: A "prominent cisterna magna" per se is not pathologic, and may or may not be causing the headache. The best course of action is to be evaluated by a physician who can assist in creating a diagnostic and treatment plan for the patient.
