A member asked:

I recently asked what was the treatment of a 7mm chiari malformation,, i am the patient and i'm extremely symptomatic, any suggestions??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Decompression.: Usually symptomatic AC malformations need surgery which involves bottom of the head decompression and enlargement of space by Dural patching. But I don't know what your symptoms are..
