The Veteran's recurrent right leg exertional compartment syndrome was initially manifested during active service and is now granted. The Board finds that the Veteran's post-operative frontal ependymoma residuals, short-term memory loss, and a recurrent headache disorder are not related to her in-service headaches or service.
The deciding factor: Service connection for recurrent right leg exertional syndrome is established as it was initially manifested during active service.
