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.
