I am 57 female. MRI shows LARGE (47mm by 90mm) syrinx from c5 to t2. I have numerous neurological symptoms but nothing that has completely changed my life. Specialist wants to drain with a peritoneal shunt. Everything I have read leads me to want to avoid a shunt. Is there anyone in the community that has a successful shunt for a long time that has NOT required multiple surgeries. I am really scared.
Thanks
