Re: Educational Lecture NY

[Guest guest]

Hope you have a great time I know there will be a lot of knowledgeable people

there which does include you all.I was wondering why there is hardly ever any

mention of basilar invagination?

(Indiana) Surgery for Chiari in 1974 at age 17 which I've always

considered it a success even though Ive always had problems.I new little to

nothing about Chiari until May 2006.I've had 4 surgeries done in the last 3

years they've all been done at TCI in NY.
