Suggest Treatment For Chiari Malformation

my sister was diagnosed with chiari malformation years ago. She had 2 strokes this week and the small hospital she is in cannot figure out what is going on. MRIs, Echo, CT scans done. Appears to be stenosis on right side of brain. She will be released from hospital today to follow up with a neurologist. What are your thoughts??

Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.

Basically strokes are not related to Chiari malformation, so there is no need to ficus on Chiari at this point. You should consider the best option (mainly therapy) to prevent further strokes.

Hope this helps.
