I have had pituitary problems with the chiari and high pressure for years.  I have tumors on the anterior and posterior.  I had a very high prolactin level with breast discharge at one point and put on bromicriptine.  Since surgery I have not had high prolactin but continue hormone issues.  Including being unable to lose weight though I eat very little.  I have nad no help from any endos and have written them off.

I have run across some mentions of pituitary problems with Chiari as well. So I'm pretty sure that is how they made the connection. I have to figure out when it's one here...so I don't miss it!!!! Can't wait!

Thanks for the insight on the possibility he has multiple things going on that could result in the lactating on this episode....seems we and I mean me...was so excited this was about chiari I didn't even give a thought that they may add a few other issues( not on our symptoms list) in to muddy it up.

I am a little late in on this conversation, but I do have problems with my pituitary and doctors have found no explanation other than the pressure from chiari is causing it. I have also read studies on pubmed of patients have had pituitary problems coinciding with the chiari, and the pituitary problems subsided after surgery. Just a side note for everyone so it may very well be  possible.
