Hi, My eight year old daughter was diagnosed at Ramstein in Germany (at 8 months) with Chiari 1 Malformation. At 2, a pediatric specialist at Children s in Omaha looked at the MRI and said, You have nothing to worry about. She is prone to ear infections and have had a number of appointments, having tubes once. Every time she gets one, she gets a fever, a headache and gets dizzy. Since yesterday, she has been complaining of a headache, dizziness, had a low-grade fever (100.7) and now a new symptom - her neck is stiff and it hurts. She also slept on the sofa for 2.5 hours.... she hasn t napped since she was 2.5. That worries me for a number of reasons - she has never had a stiff neck, is listless and says when she moves too much she is dizzy, and has had little to no appetite for two days. Being the overprotective mom, I looked up both meningitis and Chiari 1 - and she fits symptoms of both. My husband thinks I m crazy, but I feel I should take her to the hospital in the morning if she still has the symptoms....?
