Arnold Chiari Malformation type 1 Soln
My present age is 37 years and I am having Arnold Chiari formation(ACM) type 1 with 8 mm syrinx. Does ACM cause Depression, anxiety, vision problem, ear ringing and neck pain? Is operation the final option? Presently, I am taking veniz XR and clonazepam for depression and anxiety. I am taking depression medication from past 3 years. Is the depression medicines just masking my depression and other issues of my body which actally caused by ACM??. If I stop taking medication I have seen the issues crop up again. Till when should I continue with same medicines or should I under go operation.? But what are the post operation issues as operation is done on very sensitive area? Please guide. Thanks...
