Chiari Malformation.


Still a possibility although my neurologist shrugged it off and said that my tonsils are not 5mm below the foramen magnum. I need to see a specialist that is for this condition. I have a lot of the symptoms.



This picture is not of my actual brain it is a googled image.

Arnold–Chiari malformation, or often simply Chiari malformation, is a malformation of the brain. It consists of a downward displacement of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum (the opening at the base of the skull), sometimes causing non-communicating [1] hydrocephalus as a result of obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) outflow.[2]
