Neurologist,  's  Response
atrophy is a sign of nerve volume loss and when in the cerebellum can cause problems with coordination and possibly memory. there are no sensory pathways going to the cerebellum and no sensation in it. this MRI finding does not explain the pain in the back of the head. the treatment for atrophy is to reverse or stop the cause. this requires a more extensive conversation with the doctor who ordered the MRI .
