symptoms can headaches and pain in your neck and also dizziness and lightheadedness
The symptoms of a Chiari malformation may include muscle weakness, balance issues and pain. Many individuals do not have symptoms and the only to confirm is by laboratory tests.
In my experience YES
There can be a bunch of symptoms caused by Chiari malformation-it seems that one common one is headaches (this is my symptom from it also). A few websites that have helped me out a lot are www.asap.org and www.columnofhope.com.
Dizziness, blurry vision, depression, unbalanced, headaches
There is NO CURE for ANY type of Chiari malformation. Chiari 1 doesn't carry the same abnormal structure to the brain as Chiari 2 or 3 do. Decompression surgery might and only might help relieve some symptoms. There are a percentage of people who return to stable lifestyle, there are more who can't. again, THERE IS NO CURE for Chiari Malformation.
I think it can come back
One of the most common symptoms of Arnold-Chiari malformations is a headache . The headache generally begins in the neck or base of the skull and may radiate through the back of the head.
it depends on what your symptoms are. i have a 5.5 mm herniation and i am scheduled for decompression surgery on July 27, , 2010 (this Tuesday). i have scoliosis that my doctor is hoping will correct itself, and he also wishes that my herniation dooesnt get worse. my mom has a 8mm hern. and had surgery December 3 2009.
The link that I posted is a practical list of suggestions from other chiari suffers to help decrease symptoms.
