Hi :) My mother has just recently been diagnosed with the Chiari Malformation as well. It took her almost a year to get the right diagnosis, and she had to resort to driving 8 hours to Duke University Hospital to figure it all out. This is a website that will explain what the Chiari Malformation is. http://www.asap.org/chiari-malformation.html
I hope this helps :)

Hi,

How was the diagnosis made and are you seeing a neurologist for your son? What symptoms does he have?

You could read about this further at the following link -

Let us know about any further queries that you have and post us about how your son is doing.

Regards.
