A reduced blood supply to the lower part of brain, called as brain stem, can result in dizziness, loss of balance, incoordination while walking, vertigo.
The narrowing of the veins in the back of head as seen in the MRI is most likely producing theses symptoms due to diminished blood flow in the surrounding area and the brain stem.
