Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 My 15 year old daughter was diagnosed as having a chiari after a few months of illness last year. She had decompression surgery last June and recovered quite well aside from the pretty bad head aches. She was diagnosed quite quickly due to some of my problems. It appears that she has got some of my genetic problems. She has been having her arm swell up and pain and cramp in a couple of her fingers as well as the continuing head aches. She has recently had another mri and is to see the consultant on 22nd this month. I am not very clear about this condition as her surgeon gave me the impression that she had surgery and would now be well. I have been reading some info on chiari and am very concerned that the docter has not given me enough info on her future health. Can anyone help me understand what this condition will mean to my daughter and what we can expect for her future. I understand that no one person has the same symptons but would be grateful for any info that anyone can give me. Many thanks. Tina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
