The Surgeon Said It Is Not A Problem, But I Am Worried That It Is, Maybe He Did Not Want To Scare Me?? Does Any One Out There Know Anything About This Sort Of Occurrance After A Chiari Surgery?? I can be contacted via this forum. I Just Got This Sick Feeling That I Thought I Woulf Go On Line And See If Any One Had Any Answers. Instead Of The Stem Of His Brain Having A Smoothe Slope It Has A Kink Now. Thanks For Listening Patty!

Dear Patty, This is so Eerie.My son at age 19 had brain decompression surgery(removed skull bone)had good MRI 1 year later,next year MRI found kink in brain stem.I am leaving for Dr. appt in a few minutes.All we know so far is Nuer.M.D. told us he may have to have fusion surgery,but he also said it would be terrible.I hope this letter finds your son doing well.My prayers are with you.
