Hi,

We are pleased to announce the opening of a new Chiari Malformation community located at: http://www.medhelp.org/forums/show/257. This was suggested by a member and we saw there was quite a bit of activity around this condition. We're happy to be able to provide a dedicated community for this.

Had decompression surgery to correct my Chiari Malformation in 2002. Initially I wondered what had hit me but I was out of hopsital in 5 days and back at work in 6 weeks. The best decision I ever made.

I had decompression surgery in Dec 07. My symptoms of Chiari went away in Feb & March but returned with a vengence in April. My doc quit the practice and no one else will see me. Docs don't really deal with Chiari. Any sugestions?

I have a neuro in central PA that is going to do the decompression in August. His name is dr. fick and he is fantastic.
