It's the decent of the cerebral tonsils through the Forman magnum. Aka low lying c.t. , chiari 0 or 1, brain herniation. It can cause many symptoms! And there is no cure, sometimes surgery works but not promising. No doctors really give it credit and say it can't cause a lot of the symptoms people with it complain about, except I find it funny no one with this knows one another but has the same story to tell. So anyways, if you have it and have symptoms you are pretty much f***ed cause no one knows $#¡+ about it. Haha!! Upright health website has great information on it. Check it out!
