Very interesting, thanks for the link. My boy has CM, but not Syringomyelia.

Interesting, not that I understand it fully.

A few years ago I googled about it, and thought Joey had some of the symptoms described. I think I was just being paranoid at the time. He hasn't shown any other signs since then, and he's now 6.

What is CM Miss B??

What is CM Miss B??

Chiari-like Malformation, or COMS (Caudal Occipital Malformation Syndrome). Basically the hole in the base of his skull is too small, and part of his brain is pushing through. Not very technical, but that's the best way I can think of to explain it
