A member asked:

After 2 decompression surgeries for chiari i malformation and 2 more for csf leaks i now have a damaged vagus nerve. can this be repaired?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vagal repair: Probably not repaired, but symptoms can be mitigated. What are the symptoms and what type of damage was caused, and how? Thanks! Hoping to help you!
