Has anyone ever heard of Arnold Chaira Type I malformation?!
Question: I was diagnos with this a few weeks back, My prognosis, from a past MRI did not show this. It is a rare thing that happens when we are embroys. My past MRI was dated 2000 and this one is 2008. Showed I have a hernia of the brain, forwhich a piece of my brain is growing out side my skull. Has anyone had this surgery to fix this yet?

Question #1: Yes.
Comment: I don't think you meant to say "prognosis". Your cerebellum is protruding downard into your spinal canal.
