cerebellar tonsillar ectopia of 7mm??

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I recently read a report from an mri I had done in 2009 and it says I have this

ectopia of 7mm. I was told this in 2009 and was told it was no big deal. I saw

my neurologist again and questioned him about this and he said it was no big

deal and that it has nothing to do with chiari. The reason I am questioning this

now is because my 5 year old granddaughter whom I've adopted was diagnosed with

chiari type II recently and we have many similarities. I have chronic migraines,

neck pain, lower back pain, lumbar scholiosis, bladder issues, sinus issues

and occasional numbness /weakness in my left leg. Is this neurologist right? Is

tonsillar ectopia different from chiari and should I just ignore it? I'm really

confused so any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!
