I have a 13 year old autistic child.She has a lot of medical and mental issues.She has had headaches for a long time.She also recently had tethered cord surgery.A couple weeks ago she started feeling pressure in the back of her head and has really low blood pressure.She also gets dizzy a lot and throws up.She has scolisis with a 36 degree curvature.Anyone have any suggestions on what this could be?

  HI and welcome to the Chiari forum.

I am sure there could be several things going on, mayb not all at once, or mayb a few at a time.....since she had the release surgery is it possible to have a CSF leak or an infection....

Has she been to her NS to be checked since getting these symptoms?
