mri scan in children

To diagnose the underlying cause and origin of vertigo in children, an MRI or CT scan of the brain and skull are usually recommended. In addition, your child also undergo a complete physical and examination by a physician with special focus on a test known as the Dix-Hallpike maneuver which will help to narrow the complication into either nerve damage or brainstem involvement.

Strokes can cause many clinical findings including weakness, numbness, changes in cognition, etc, depending on the location of the stroke. An MRI of the brain is a very useful modality to identify strokes. If indeed there was a structural lesion (i.e., stroke), it should be seen on the MRI. However, MRIs are only so specific and sensitive for detecting strokes. I agree your son should continue following up with the neurologist. Neuroimaging would be useful.

His last MRI was in Feb 2012. After his 2nd surgery, he did have a CSF leak which was taken care of. He has had an MRI for his spine in June 2011. Would the other conditions show up on that?

Hi, last year I had an MRI scan. I was having it as the Dr was looking to see if I had an AVM on the brain, I get a lot of headaches and have an AVM on my right forearm.

Probably it does :). However, we're not doctors. You also haven't provided much information here. For instance, if you had the MRI because you have migraines, this would be a typical finding. If you are older, these might be due to ischemic changes. Feel free to share why you were referred for the MRI in the first place. Also, what did the "impressions" or "conclusions" paragraph on the MRI report say?
