A member asked:
What is the best type of anesthesia for csection in a patient with borderline chiari malformation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Straightforwards: You can safely use any anesthetic your doctors feel is appropriate, but key issue might be safe positioning of head relative to neck, so, let them know of your Chiari. But if this is a low grade, "borderline" issue, really no significant risk of any kind.
