Can you post the full MRI report? I too have trouble understanding what that term means; the vermis is a part of the cerebellum, but the space above it (supravermian) in my experience refers to a space containing CSF, not brain tissue.
Awaiting my follow up appointment after questionable minimal supravermian atrophy that was found on my brain MRI last week. Im unable to find valuable information with the phrase supravermian atrophy online. Im hoping someone can shed some light on what a finding like this could possibly be related to. Im too impatient to wait until my follow-up to learn more about it.27F, 5 8, 138 lbs, European ancestry. I work full-time as a critical care RN in a peds ICU. History of gangrenous appendicitis age 5, Guillain barre related to a suspected tick-borne pathogen age 8, asthma (controlled by corticosteroids,) anxiety (relieved with PRN benzos,) vasovagal syncope episodes during ovulation since the age 16.
