I also have aneurysms in the brain and chiari, gotta wonder how many other chiarians have them?

I had one clipped and another has since popped up.

Hi!
No, there is no direct association between aneurysm and Chiari malformation. Presence of Chiari malformation can delay the diagnosis of rupture of aneurysms as both have similar symptoms. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
