Q: Success or Failure of Craino- Cervical Fusion + Occult Tethered Cord Surgeries/ Do tell~

I'd like to hear about anyone's experience with Spinal Fusions especially the type in which they fuse your cervical spine to your skull to prevent hindbrain herniation or Aquired Chiari Malformation. (Especially, especially if you also have a connective tissue disorder)

 

On the same wave length, I'm interested in any of you who have had surgery for Occult Tethered Cord which also affects the brainstem- and therefore, head pain.

 

Interested in -

the good, the bad and the ugly bare bone facts!

Thanks,

zoe

Zoe,

 

I have no experience with these issues. Maybe someone on the site will, but I can't be sure of that. SO, again, I'm going to email this to Dr. K. and see if he can tell us anything. Will get back to you when I hear back from him.
