WHAT IS CHIARI DECOMPRESSION SURGERY?

WHAT IS CHIARI MALFORMATION?

Chiari malformation occurs when the cerebellar tonsils move into the spinal canal, leading to various neurological symptoms.

GOALS OF THE SURGERY

The goal of Chiari decompression surgery is to relieve pressure on the brain and restore normal cerebrospinal fluid flow.

UNDERSTANDING SYMPTOMS

Chiari malformation can cause various symptoms, including headaches, neck pain, and balance issues.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE

The surgery involves making an incision at the back of the skull to create space for the cerebellar tonsils.

LOOK AT THE BLOG

RECOVERY PROCESS

Patients usually stay in the hospital for 2-3 nights and will require physical therapy afterward.

SCAR CARE

Scar care after surgery speeds up healing. It's important to keep the incision site clean and dry.

RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS

Chiari decompression surgery carries risks such as infection and bleeding, making careful monitoring essential.
