I have Chiari Malformation and had 3 brain surgeries where the patch was used. The patch leaked twice. I did not suffer from hydrocephalus so no shunt was needed. I am now having severe inner cranial pressure and drainage of spinal fluid from my nose at times. Will a shunt help resolve this? I now have lupus that manifested after my surgeries so I am dealing with that as well as the chiari. Thank you for listening!
