But Chiari may raise the stakes for avoiding LPs. I haven't had time to really investigate this, but it appears to me that the lumbar punctures might be misleading and dangerous if Chiari is the cause of the ICH:"In the setting of Chiari malformation, the craniospinal pressure dissociation can be worsened if CSF is removed from the spinal canal."http://www.ajnr.org/cgi/content/full/26/4/985

Exactly!!! Don't have an LP, please. That would be

a huge mistake if you do in fact have Chiari.

I got a LP done before I knew I had it and

I was temporarily paralyzed. I couldn't walk at all.

I had no feeling below my waist.
