Chiari I

I have a Chiari I Malformation and received surgery by David Barnett in Dallas, TX about 9 years ago. I have been experiencing short term memory loss and I am wondering if this memory loss could be a side affect. I am a 35 year old white male.
Thanks

Hi..we do have a chiari forum here on MedHelp and I suggest u join us.

From my experience and what I have learned, chiari surgery does not fix or cure the chiari condition....and symptoms may return...scar tissue can develop causing many of the same symptoms....and u can also develop related conditions.

How often have u been for follow up MRI's?
