Brief Answer:
Yes, it is possible.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Yes, it is possible for Chiari malformation to recidive after surgery, so, if you experience same symptoms as before surgery, you need to be reevaluated by a craniospinal MRI.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Kind regards.
