Chiari 1, neurosurgeon=all symptoms chiari but dizziness, surg. if cine mri=blocked csf. ref to neuro-oto says all symptoms chiari & do surg. bc of sx., now what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chiari malformation: Chiari malformations are structural defects in the cerebellum ( controls balance) in type I which can be acquired, the cerebellum is compressed through FM., as a result, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid is blocked. Your dizziness is due to imbalance from cerebellar compression which will improve with a shunt surgery. There is no role for Oto, this is not likely primary vestibular.
