Arnold-Chiari Malformation Support Group
Arnold-Chiari malformation, sometimes referred to as 'Chiari malformation' or ACM, is a congenital anomaly of the brain. Arnold-Chiari Malformation II occurs in almost all children born with both spina bifida and hydrocephalus, but ACM I is typically seen in children and adults without spina bifida.
I live in Northern, VA & was just wondering if anyone has some good doctors to recommend around here. I have a 6mm herniation, but TONS of symptoms. I've had an MRI & c-spine x-rays. I'm getting ready to have a cine flow MRI & the neuro wants to do an EEG for "focal seizures" which I don't think I'm having. It's been tough trying to find a Dr that even recognizes Chiari as a condition!
