Wait! Not all radiologists use the same set of rules to diagnose Chiari. Some require a herniation measurement of at least 3mm, some 5mm, and some (old school) 10mm to call out a Chiari malformation. Like Abby said please get a copy of the images and report. Look at your own brain and try to see if there is a herniation there. Also, did you have a cine MRI? This can show CSF blockage. ---

I agree I know a few who have **Chiari 0 -** term loosely used to describe people who have Chiari-like symptoms, but have little to no tonsillar herniation. I would get a 2nd opinion if you are able too. Good luck Abby said: > I would ask for a copy of my MRI and the disc for future references. > > You can have Chiari 0 and have symptoms. > > I am really hoping you do not have chiari. Let us know. ---

I agree. They all read differently. ONLY a Neuro Dr can really 100% say. jcdemar said: > Wait! Not all radiologists use the same set of rules to diagnose Chiari.
