Maria - Thanks for sharing your story, though it has me even more nervous. I was just diagnosed yesterday with a 4CM arachnoid cyst on the posterior fossa in addition to a 5MM Type I Chiari Malformation. I haven't visited the neurosurgeons yet, but in reviewing my scans with the radiologist, it sure looks like the Chiari could be caused by the cyst.
I'm anxious about what the potential course of treatment can / will be. Any additional words of wisdom would be appreciated.
