Can you acquire hindbrain herniation after 5 years of pseudotumour cerebri? got iih putting on weight and now dealing with chiari symptoms.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herniation: I may not offer a helpful answer, but Increased intracranial pressure from pseudotumor cerebri can cause herniation through the foramen magnum. It's complicated and confusing when chiari is also in play. A neurosurgeon is best qualified to answer your questions and advise you for this highly specialized process.
