Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that yes your sister is suffering with very rare disease and as spine is connected too she should undergo surgery. Death risk is definitely involved but consult a good neurologist and neurosurgeon for proper guidance.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
