CHIARI MALFORMATION COMMUNITY
Syrinx with no chiari malformation showing???

Syrinx with no chiari malformation showing???

I have a small syrinx at C6 and C7 with no chiari malformation showing. Went to a neurosurgeon and he said to wait a year & do another mri to see if it has changed at all. Is this a safe approach? As im in alot of pain and take many meds for it. Everything you read makes it sound like a serious condition to have. I need some good advice on what to do???????  Thanks

Hi...may I ask, by no chiari do they mean u do not have a malformation or u do not have a herniation?

Did u have a CINE MRI to see y u had a CSF blockage?....u must have had one to develop ur syrinx or u had an injury.....???

Was ur NS a chiari specialist...they also r syringomyelia specialists as well...and is whom I would want to get an opinion from.
