Hello
I recently had an upright MRI which showed that I have a 'mild/ almost' Chiari, but the real problem is a brainstem compression due to a retroflexed odontoid process.
I have a long history of- vision problems, balance problems, headaches- feeling like my head is going to explode, nausea and vomiting, memory loss, cognitive issues, ear pressure/ fullness/ popping/ pain. All the symptoms you'd expect to get.
I also have an Atlantoaxial subluxation. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, my cervical spine is hypermobile.
I've been reading quite a lot about CSF flow. and I'm wondering if anyone could explain to me how this brainstem compression would affect the flow.
Thanks
