Not telling you about it and not including it on the MRI/CT scan reports are two different things. Was it ever included on a report, even if your doctor(s) didn't bring it up to you in an actual discussion? I had a pineal cyst show up in an MRI and it was included in the MRI report, but my GP didn't bother disclosing this information and I didn't realize the cyst existed until I read the report, myself. Additionally, were you experiencing any symptoms that would warrant concern for your health and well-being? As in, what were the CT scans originally ordered for? I don't think you would have much of a case unless you can prove that you were seeking medical attention as a result of neurological problems you were experiencing, and that the doctor(s) who ordered the original CT scans and the radiologists who read your images missed a very obvious diagnosis, causing you several years of potentially unnecessary symptoms and/or endangering your well-being.
Hi...unfortunatly u r dealing with opinions...most radiologist and NS when in med school did not spend much time on chiari and therefor do not have the most recent veiws and ideas on treatment or need of treatment.....
R u sure ur chiari is aquired or was it triggered from the assult.....a fall or amusment park ride can cause a chiari to become active.....U may find more info on our chiari Forum here on MedHelp...I am the community leader and I invite u to join our forum.It is a great place for info and support!!
