NCC?/ LP done Jan 2011 . . have ??

[Guest guest]

Hello again,

Thanks for all the replies on the Chiari Syndrome v. Chiari Malformation. I

have noticed looking through my records that it is the Doctor dictating Syndrome

and the PA dictating Chiari Malformaion history.

Okay.. . background: LP done in Jan 2011. Just saw the actual procedure

report. The tests on the spinal fluid were fine but the procedure report states

" The opening pressure was only 1mmHg. "

Question: From what I'm reading and researching, that is low but I can't find

the causes of why it's low. And no one ever said anything. Any ideas on this?

Any ideas on how I should ask about it? And I also see it's measured in mmHg

and mm H2O. . Not sure I understand why or how to calculate to mm H20.

I wish I had asked back then. Sometimes, I just rely on people to tell me stuff

is low, high, possible problem, not a problem? You know what I mean.

Thanks again everyone.
