A member asked:
I have chiari malformation. decompressed 2012, csf leak surgery 2012, vp shunt 2013. carpal tunnel result of chiari? only small relief after surgeries
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No relationship: Compression of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel has no relationship to the chiari malformation. Patients with chiari i malformation may have syringomyelia, which can cause neck and arm symptoms. However, carpal tunnel syndrome is very specific to the nerve at the wrist. Your neurosurgeon can help distinguish between the two conditions, and explain why you still have symptoms.
