I have now had an MRI of the brain, and MRA of the brain, and according

to the doctors they don't see chiari, however, the MRI always cuts off

RIGHT at the tonsil so it is just so hard to see. Now I am getting an

MRI of the c-spine, but not the brain AND c-spine.

Is an MRI of just the brain adequate to see chiari?

Will it be visiabl with just the c-spine MRI?

Does the head and neck have to be at a certain angle to see chiari, or

is just straight okay too.

MY neurologist was willing to read dr. Milorat's paper on chiari

redefined. I was thankful for that.

Good news, my neuro does not think it is MS.. but he did think some of

it was stress (which I agree with), but he added that he was NOT

willing to chalk anything up to stress untill he has rulled all other

possibilities out. I thought that was nice and balanced.
