You should ask the doctor, but I have Chiari 2 and it was caused by Spina Bifida. Chiari 1 is also something that develops while the baby is unborn. So I don't think either type can be caused by a brain injury, at least I found nothing about it online. But still I'd ask the doctor if I were you. Certainly brain injury can cause a problem with hydrocephalus, fluid building up in the brain.

Can you get neck plan with meniere disease?
Well, I have increasing pain in the neck since I have Menieres disease. Stiffness, the feeling I have to 'unlock' my neck, pain when I move my head to the left or right shoulder, but sometimes relief when I do that, mostly after a hearable 'click' in the neck, like cracking it. Pain comes and goes, people I spoke to regarding this, told me it is possible that the body, confused by the damaged balance organ(s), tries to keep the head straight and causes stress on the neck bones and muscles, which ends up in pain. Even while the Balance organ is not 'confused' due to an attack, the attacks do damage it, and it will give less accurate signals to the brain, which, on its turn will try to compensate for this. Rob I'm sorry but the above statement is incorrect. The "unlocking" you feel in your neck is more than likely do to a disorder called Arnold Chiari. Which is a deformation of the skull. My mother suffered from Arnold Chiari and it caused her brain to sag into her spine which in turn caused a build up of spinal fluid creating cysts within her spine, this being called Syringomyelia. I was diagnosed with unilateral Meniere's in 2002 at the age of 15. I underwent a vestibular nerve section in 2008 where they actually opened my skull to sever the vestibular nerve and during the surgery they discovered I too have Arnold Chiari. It has been recently discovered that Meniere's may be a substantial offspring of Arnold Chiari. Please get an MRI and speak with a Neurologist.
