Hi, I just found out that my son has Chiari Malformation. He was in a car accident when he was in the ER the doctor gave him an MRI. My wife came back from the follow up appointment and told me that they discovered that he had type 1. One of my biggest concerns is his eye sight. His vision to me seems to me getting progressively worse.
I read your question and I understand your concern. I must say though that Chiara malformation doesn't affect vision. It does not involve any of the brain structures whicChatDoctorpose the visual pathways. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if the finding was an incidental one, not related to the accident but already present for a long time. So unless there is some other finding that you don't mention in the MRI you should look elsewhere rather than the brain for the cause of eyesight reduction, a visit to the eye doctor is what I would recommend. I hope to have been of help.
