Ask Neurosurgeons: I am assuming this is a condition called Chiari malformation, which is something one is born with, however there may be neurosurgical procedures to relieve the frequency of this problem. I suggest you have the case referred to a pediatric-oriented Neurosurgeon and neurologist for options, there MAY be a treatment that can improve this clinically, call Health Tap for concierge help if it is desired
