After lots of dr appt i was told my mra had abnormalities but was told the dr did not tell the nurse that was notifying me of results what were the abnormalities but i was to get a cta of my brain and neck. Very confused what is going on. Please enlighten me what could be abnormal and what they are checking for since my dr has not told me. Could this be because if the chairi malformation that i was diagnosed with?

Please add me to attendees' list. I'm interested in post-surgery experiences and recovery times after shunt surgery for normal pressure hydrocephalus. Thanks

Hi @mkell13,
Have you been able to get any clarification about the results of your MRI? Have you had the CT scan?
These are good questions to follow up with your doctor. I can imagine that it is confusing. They (the doctor or the nurse) should be able to take the time and find the words to explain things clearly and in a way that is easy to understand. I suggest when they explain something to you that you explain it back to them in your own words. This gives them a chance to re-describe anything that they may not have been clear on.

Keep asking questions. Being a patient can be hard work, especially when you and your team are searching for answers.

Thanks for watching to the Video Q&A, @jeancary and for your ongoing participation in the discussion group about normal pressure hydrocephalus.
