Hey there! While I am not a trained radiologist nor a trained neurosurgeon, I definitely see crowding at the foreman magnum. Your herniation is not large, but that is not indicative of your symptoms.
You may see "low lying tonsils" on the radiologist report. *IF* any of your docs say that your symptoms couldn't be caused by this...I'd look for a true Chiari specialist.
I pray that you are able to find answers to your questions, and relief for your pain!

Hi, hey that looks like my MRI. they say that I have low lying tonsils. Im going to get another opinion cause even though i have a alot of symptoms the NS that I saw said that my headaches, muscle weekness, balance problems, dizziness, and so on arent from the Chiari. ( which mind you he did say that I have chiari) Well I think I need another Doctors opinion on that. (to see if all these symptoms are from the chiari) I would really see a doctor for this MRI, one who knows alot about it. Cause I sure didn't see one who knew enough.
Good luck!!

Hi...yes it looks like overcrowding.....minimal herniation.
U deff will want a chiari dr to review and look for other chiari related conditions which could be responsible for ur symptoms in addition to the chiari.
