will these type of scans show a chiari malformation?

  Hi...well it may indicate something is going on and ur dr may send u for a cervical MRI as well..they should be w/wo contrast if possible.

Try to relax, being nervous only affects u,not the outcome : )

The mri and mra were only of the brain. They gave me a disc, and you cannot see my cervical spine. The neuro hasnt called me regarding the results yet. As you can imagine Im very nervous and want the results asap.  Thanks  Selma

  Hi...were they done of ur brain and cervical spine?....done w/wo contrast?...if so, they should.

  Did u request copies?...if not, call the location ad request copies of the MRI's  and MRA's and copies of the reports...they will tell u how they handle all that, but going forward always request copies when u register for ne tests.
