Just had an mri due to head pressure. all clear but small capillary malformation in pons. dr said likely present from birth but to see neurologist for future. what can i expect from neurologist? is there further treatment or tests? what does it mean?

Neurology: Not clear to me of significance of "head pressure". The "capillary" issue is almost certainly of no consequence. A neurologist will take a history and perform a clinical examination, provide a diagnosis, and a plan of action. Have no clue if further testing is needed or what treatment may be appropriate.
