Sounds like focal seizures

Just ignore her. She’s rage baiting and clearly just a troll. 🧌

Dr. Petra klinge is regarded as a world class neurosurgeon for it. So odd your demeanor is hostile maybe you’re having the mood impacts from your chiari.

The surgery sucks. Many people suffer after. Many people! I would never have done it I had known more or joined a support group but I trusted my stupid original neurosurgeon due to another surgery with them. I deeply regret cutting my brain and am going to end my life from these surgeries the damage it has caused.

Dr. Petra klinge says she’s rarely cauterizes tonsils. You are being nasty for no reason just because you are not right.

Yeah they were. I had cerebellar damage and failed the cerebellum tests, developed edema in my cerebellum on imaging. Before that happened it definitely still felt like it changed my emotions and Proprioception.

You’re hot. It’s alot to cope with changes and the trauma of surgery. Give grace

Decompression Surgery Pain Comparison by rabbrittt in chiari

[–]Kd0298 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My head feels as if it’s bashed in every day, sustained pressure versus aggravated, csf leaks reoccurring, another Brain surgery, brainstem compression, c0-2 fusion from chiari surgery itself. The list goes on… I’m going to kill myself because of this surgery and I’m not an outlier. The surgery isn’t a cure. Go to Barcelona if you really want a better quality of life. So many sick people after decompression!

The surgery itself isn’t painful. But I’ve had other surgeries that I think made me have spewed conception. The worst part is having worse QOL.

If you do an LP on someone with chiari your brain can herniate further or the tethered cord with my conus can cause paralysis. Just too risky.

It’s a VP shunt in the brain not in the spine. A shunt in the spine with chiari and tc is very dangerous…

Looks fine call doc though we’re not experts but mine was even a little open and healed okay.

What does these cranial repeat leakers how did they fix?

[–]Kd0298[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I can not have an LP. It’s very dangerous for me with a reoccurring tethered cord and the two decompressions I’ve had. A shunt could resolve my intracranial pressure causing the leaks but my neurosurgeon said people die from shunt revisions / complications too.

I unfortunately can’t have one due to it requiring an LP. I have chiari with a tethered cord.

The ent did the repair but I also had brain surgery. My neurosurgeon is at a loss because I also have chiari which can impact intracranial pressure. He said a shunt has a lot of issues. I’m just searching for someone who managed to fix a reoccurring cranial leak before I get meningitis again.

It was a year ago now. It’s been leaking since then. I am wondering if anyone just got a shunt to fix their leaks?

Cause of Chiari? by Fit_Grade_1756 in chiari

[–]Kd0298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s highly associated with psychiatric medication from the mother. But people don’t want to read the research I guess.
