What to do if i have been diagnosed with a 5mm chiari one malformation - is this thing serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chiari malformation: A 5mm herniation in a chiari is borderline from a radiological point of view, what is more important is are you have symptoms from the chiari that would it more likely you would need surgery. A consultation with a neurosurgeon would likely be the best option if you want to find out more.
