Mri Resluts: Vertebral Basilar System Found?
Posted: 01-20-06 05:00am

Does anyone know what this means? What is a vertebral basilar system? It showed up on an mri I just recently had done.

I did an internet search but it keeps coming up with strokes.

When they did this mri last week, I was being tested for ms, but neuro said that my mri was normal, however, when I did the internet search I kept finding tia's or strokes which have all the symptoms i'm currently having- only they last more than 24 hrs...

I have not been referred to another dr by my neuro.

But am wondering, is this serious? Do I need to see another dr about this? My neuro is just brushing this off...But I am having major problems:

like memory probs, dizzyness, vertigo, balance probs, speech probs, as well as weakness and sudden "alzheimer moments".

hi there moon. I have no idea about this condition. Have you tried researching the interweb? Like yahoo! Or something? This would be my first place to start ... You can ask a doctor questions also on this forum, but i'm not sure if its really a doctor or they take it too seriously.


Try research ... Let us know if you find anything out .

Yes I have tried the internet and it says basically that I have narrowing of those arteries. Which puts me at risk for another stroke.. I'm supposed to be seeking medical attention as quick as possible but as I dont have insurence it is slow going... Espec with a neuro that says that it is norma to have this and I was born like that which is bs.
