If you search on youtube, Dr. Brockmeyer did a presentation on Complex Chiari where hev talks about BI and other complications. In it he says that most surgeons don't do transoral anymore. I'm not a doctor, but that presentation might give you more info on that.
Or any good Chiari specialists in the U.S. For that matter?
I had a decompression and a fusion from occipital to c2. The tonsils are no longer compressed but the NS said that my brainstem is still being compressed by my odontoid bone. I am going to get an opinion on what to do about it at the mayfield clinic in Cincinnati. Does anyone know any good neurosurgeons there?
Hi,,,,I a not aware of anyone posting about this,,,,
I know they will try different ways to enter depending on the areas they need to reach,...
So your first surgery failed?....and the BI was not corrected?
I am curious as to what all was done during your first surgery as we do have a few others with Chiari and BI so it may be helpful to them who are seeking out advice and a Dr.
