Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 Mine is a Psuedomeningocele, Brande and I just had this conversation last night, I knew what it was, but mis wrote it. But thanks for the clarification again. Just want to make sure that people are aware that steriods,cushings and downangers(SP) hump are not the only way to have a hump, and that said, this is a Chiari Group, and many of us do have SC or SB ,SM and tons more that are OFTEN affiliated with our Chiari Malformations, and not all of us have taken steroids. thanks Vikki, hope you are feeling well or ill say Better!!!
