Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hello All, I hope you are all doing well. I just got back my test results for the CSF Flow study. It says: Absent CSF flow in the aqueduct, 4'th ventricle and posterior foramen magnum. I was hoping that there would be some flow there. I have not had the decompression surgery yet and I'm wondering if this result means that my symptoms will progress. Does it always mean this? Do most people with chiari have no flow as well? Will the decompression surgery always help this? I'm afraid of having surgery and it still being blocked. I have over a 10mm herniation. Some other results of the test said: Synchronous anterior flow to the pons and the upper cervical spinal cord with the CSF flow posterior to the upper cervical spinal cord. Does anyone know what this means as well. thank you so much erica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
