what does this mean

[rachell444]

the cerebellar tonsils are extending well below the foramen magnum about 13 mm this is evidence for chari 1 malformation; however there is a good amount of csf visible around the cerebellar tonsils and meduiia

Wishing you the best in just finding out you have Chairi.  I know how scary this can be, but you found a good site for support, infor. and just understanding because we know what your going through.  Please find a true Chairi Specialist and as Selma suggest get all the testing done that is needed such as a flow study.
