Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Well you must have undergone posterior fossa decompression with duraplasty which was not so successful for chiari malformation.You may require partial removal of tonsils along with repeat dural repair.Regarding idiopathic intracranial hypertension you require urgent shunt surgery as there is impending vision loss.
Hope my answer helps you.
