What Is Chiari Malformation?
6. What Happens After a Chiari Malformation Diagnosis?
For many people, especially those whose CM was uncovered during testing for unrelated issues, there is no cause for concern. Careful monitoring and routine physicals are probably sufficient. It is advisable to find a provider you are comfortable with, and who will listen to your concerns and answer any questions you may have.
If you have received a diagnosis because you were experiencing symptoms, then you will want to seek a specialist who has experience treating Chiari malformations. You should expect to undergo several more tests to determine the extent of your CM and how much it is impacting functions before developing an appropriate treatment plan.
