Chiari malformation is a congenital anomaly involving Brainstem, cerebellum and skull base. This leads to herniation of Brainstem tissue into opening in skull base bone causing symptoms. You need to consult a neurosurgeon for more information about the condition and treatment plan
Next Steps
Consult nearby neurosurgeon for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
