What is borderline or type 0 Chiari?
– Borderline Chiari is not always recognised by all doctors. It is where the cerebellar tonsils are not herniated but crowd the Foramen Magnum stopping CSF flow like in Chiari 1 malformation. This can cause the symptoms seen in Chiari 1 and can be treated the same way. It is also called Chiari 0 by some.
