Anyone here have any experience dealing with chiari malformation?
My daughter has been diagnosed via MRI and CAT Scan. Dizziness became so bad she couldn't stand. She is currently in the hospital waiting to be seen by a neurologist.
Not sure what to expect at this point. Most of what I've read says the only way to treat the underlying cause of the symptoms is surgery. Most also seem to discourage surgery if symptoms can be managed with drugs.
I really would prefer my 19 yr old daughter not have to be on a drug regimen for the rest of her life, but am really concerned about the prospect of brain/skull surgery.

People of integrity expect to be believed, when they're not, they let time prove them right.
