The surgery isn't a panacea, despite what some neurosurgeons will tell you, but you may want to have an MRI to be sure that your cerebellum hasn't herniated again, it can happen after an accident or with a connective tissue disease. Also, a syrynx could be possible, I would recommend seeing your Neuro as soon as possible

From what I have read, many radiologists reading the scan don't know what to look for in regard to chiari. My guess is that it would be best to find a neuro versed in chiari, and not go to just anyone? This intrigues me. I still can't understand how it can be there on one scan, but not another.
