A member asked:

I have chiari i of 7mm, with limited csf and a neurofibroma on c6-c7. i have headaches all over not just my occipital area. are these chiari headaches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: These headaches could be related to increased pressure on the brain, either from the ac or the neurofibroma. Please see your neurologist right away.
