Can trauma aggrevate Chiari malformation?
A very tough question to answer even if a specific incident or type of trauma was added. Even with more information provided, top Neurosurgeons and Neurologists who specialize in Chiari Malformation would have to answer this question on a case by case basis.
Is Arnold-Chiari malformation life threatening?
Yes though it is extremely rare it has been proven that it can cause a rare form of sudden death syndrome by forming a lethal brain stem compression. Chiari malformation can become a progressive disorder and lead to serious complications: Hydrocephalus: accumulation of excess fluid within the brain Syringomyelia: a cavity or cyst (syrinx) forms within the spinal column Paralysis, which may occur due to the crowding and pressure on the spinal cord, tends to be permanent, even after treatment with surgery Sudden Death: Lethal brain stem compression may accompany even relatively minor trauma associated with chronic cerebellar tonsillar herniation in patients with Chiari I malformation. http://jpma.org.pk/full_article_text.php?article_id=1450 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15613193 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3994690/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/4041288

Are there french bulldogs that will always have floppy ears?
Yes. Some some times the cartilage in a frenchie's ears does not form properly for whatever reason and they will always have floppy ears. The malformation can just be a genetic defect or could have been caused by some type of trauma when cartilage was forming.
Can trauma cause vertebral hemangioma?
Vertebral hemangiomas are really verterbral vascular malformations, either venous, lymphatic or arterio-venous. Hemangiomas only occur in infants but are often confused with their cousin - the vascular malformation. And, yes, it is typical for a venous malformation to arise from direct trauma. Since it is in the spinal area the person with this condition should contact one of our medical experts or someone who really knows how to treat these lesions. Boston Children's Hospital has a huge team and they treat adults and children and will review imaging studies for free. They also accept most insurances. You can call and ask for the Vascular Anomalies Program at Boston Children's. Dr. Linda Rozell-Shannon, PhD President/Founder Vascular Birthmarks Foundation
