What does a Chiari headache feel like?
The most common symptom associated with a Chiari malformation is occipital headaches. These headaches are felt near the base of the skull and may radiate to cause pain in the neck and shoulders. They can be severe and may be described as sharp, brief, throbbing or pulsating.
Does Chiari cause depression?
Sustained increased in intracranial pressure has been shown to lead to cognitive problems. There are reports of high-levels of depression and anxiety among Chiari patients.
How long does Chiari surgery take?
The operation takes about 3 to 4 hours. The hospital stay following a Chiari decompression is generally 3 to 4 days. An experienced pediatric ICU and pediatrics team will ensure that the common postoperative symptoms of headache, neck stiffness, nausea and vomiting are well-controlled.
How do you sleep after Chiari surgery?
After surgery, try sleeping on your back with a small towel rolled into the small of your neck, as your neck needs to be supported during the night. Many of our patients find this a comfortable resting position. Also, consider placing a pillow under your knees to keep them slightly elevated.
