RE: Re: Repeat MRI for Chi

[Guest guest]

Hi Kristie,

Yes, it's possible that the chiari was missed or your son was too young for

it to have shown up on his MRI.

It's recommended that if a child had an MRI prior to his/her third birthday

than the MRI should be repeated if Chiari Malformation is suspected.

You can get more information and a list a recommended neurosurgeons in your

state by going to this web site...www.wacma.com . Click on the onsite info

and scroll down to patient recommended doctors.

Take good care,
