headaches for 9 year old
I took my 9 year old son to the emergency room, He had a very bad headache and was vomiting, they treated us like dirt, and acted like we were wasting there time, they did do a catscan and the dr said he had somethjing called keyaria. a fluid build up between the spine and cranium. How he was acting I didnt know if he was lying or what was going on. He couldnt even look at me, none of them could. I tried to ask questions and couldnt get any answers, can you enlighten me any please?

Maybe it was Chiari? If so, then I recommend that you talk to your doctor about getting an MRI done and referral to a neurosurgeon. Chiari malformation (if indeed it is that) may cause headaches, and sometimes requires surgical treatment. If you can get the CT report, post it here and I'll take a look, although CT is usually not sufficient for the diagnosis - and MRI is recommended.
