  Hi...there is no info on life expectancy of someone with Chiari as most medical professionals do not see it as life threatening.....I know there are cases where it is...but on the whole it is not medically considered to be the case

Also, most with Chiari that have passed have had other related conditions or non related conditions that lead to the passing.
