it may well be time for a lawyer....how are they proving that the chiari was alway there?...and what about your health insurance?....i can't even imagine the cost....we ARE talking about neurosurgery here....but the chiari needs to be treated at the same time to PREVENT recurrance of the syrinex....good grief, and good luck
