Guest guest Posted October 6, 1999 Report Share Posted October 6, 1999 Hi there Robyn from Australia again. Could somebody please tell me what dysplastic tonsils are? Also any information on why my protrusion of the cerebellar tonsils is 2.5cms and why it's supposedly not worrying? As most people I read about don't have anywhere near such a large protusion. Should I be concerned about the length of protrusion? Also a syrinx is not evident at this time. Is there a chance that it could develop? You will be pleased to know that I educated my identical twin sister last night about Chiari and it's symptoms and she did admit to having some of the symptoms but unfortunately still refuses to have the scan and is in denial that she has it. She did however go very quiet after reading some of the emails sent back to me and also others from the list. It's really quiet touching how some/most of you press on with life with the good and the bad. We both wonder whether it's going to get worse for us as we don't suffer from anything near what you people do. I know you can't answer this question as only time will tell. My neurologist told me don't worry about it, it's there but you have no symmptoms, come back in five years we'll do another MRI. He did say that at age ~35 you will suffer bad headaches and my balance will be off a little. So I guess I can deal with that when and if it comes at age 35. Still got 8 years to go. Yeeeehaaaaa. That's all for now folks! Luv ya's all, Robyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
