So , In doing some more research (which I really should stop doing) I come across this article about Sally Meehan. She is a mother to a 2yo and a 6 month old.. She was having excrutiating headaches during pregnancy, and her dr's basically misdiagnosed it. After giving birth they sent her for an MRI and found she had chiari.. She went in for the decompression surgery and died 3 days later of heart failure..
The Dr's at the hospital said it was the only case they have seen and expected they probably wouldn't see anymore.. This poor woman, her husband, kids, and family now have to suffer from what I believe is just poor knowledge of this condition..
I can say this had made me, yet again nervous about having the surgery! :(
