Hello almost 3 years ago I was car accident and was sent to a doctor that gave epidural injections I started having headaches, i was red and swollen right after within a week or two I had trouble walking and seizure MRI was done, I was told I had chiari malformation but it was only at 3mm to 4mm had another tesla MRI found I either could be micro vascular disease or demyenating disease which still no answers. I had gained weight, seizures and unable to walk went to another doctor which diagnosed me with cervical myelopathy after two years I could move around but still have a lot of problems with no doctor agreeing. I now get abscess everyWhere the test comes out like pneumonia bacteria. I think I have or had a CFS leak , who should I go to to confirm this and see if I still have a leak? I need help its been three years and the damage I worry will get worse if there still a leak.
Hi...no idea where u are from, but we do have a Chiari Malformation forum here on MedHelp and we do have a few lists of Drs u can use to research to find the right Dr to help u.
It does not matter how long ur herniation is, it can still cause many neuro issues,...plus a CSF leak can cause the tonsils to herniate ...Do u know if ur Chiari is congenital or acquired?
