Chiari Surgery Complications? Worried!

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone, I am finally getting into see a Pediatric Neurosurgeon for my ACM

.. I have been worry about the risks in having the surgery. Are these risks low

in the numbers? I have heard that I am at risk for Meningitis, Bleed,Stroke,

Paraysis or dealth. I don't want to end up worse then were I am at now. I

guess everyone is a little scared about having the surgery done.

I work in a hospital so I see patients who have complications to surgery. But, I

think that is because I work in a surgical ICU. I never really see the good

cases. I guess what I am looking for is some reassurance.

Thanks, Sincerely, Ann Reitz
