How common is Arnold-Chiari malformation?
chiari affects 1 in 1,000 people.
What age is Arnold-Chiari usually diagnosed?
I have done research and was told the average age of diagnoses is 27. People are known to have it from birth. Ive just found out my 9 1/2 YEAR OLD daughter has Arnold chiari malformation which she was undianoses for 5 years, at the age of 4 i noticed her having bad days that always came with vomiting , just glad we had a mri.
Will having operation for Arnold chiari malformation cure the situation?
There is NO CURE for ANY type of Chiari malformation. Chiari 1 doesn't carry the same abnormal structure to the brain as Chiari 2 or 3 do. Decompression surgery might and only might help relieve some symptoms. There are a percentage of people who return to stable lifestyle, there are more who can't. again, THERE IS NO CURE for Chiari Malformation.
Do people with Arnold chari malformation usually have several different disorders?
yes
What is mild cerebellar tonsillar ectopia?
It's the decent of the cerebral tonsils through the Forman magnum. Aka low lying c.t. , chiari 0 or 1, brain herniation. It can cause many symptoms! And there is no cure, sometimes surgery works but not promising. No doctors really give it credit and say it can't cause a lot of the symptoms people with it complain about, except I find it funny no one with this knows one another but has the same story to tell. So anyways, if you have it and have symptoms you are pretty much f***ed cause no one knows $#¡+ about it. Haha!! Upright health website has great information on it. Check it out!
Is it safe to have phyiscal therapy when you have Chiari Malformation Type 1 with a Syrinx?
If physical therapy has been prescribed for you and the doctor is aware of the CM Type I with Syrinx, then it is safe, particularly if the therapy is directed toward another part of your body BESIDES your neck and even thoracic spine area. Personally, I would not want physical therapy for treatment of Chiari Malformation, but if I had a problem with a knee, hip or ankle...sure, I'd go for it. There are surgical repairs for CM and they are risky. There are many websites devoted to educating people as to the best time to have the surgery as well as where to go for the surgery. Since it is such a life altering illness complete with intense pain, I would only trust my health care to an expert in the disease...not your regular physician.
Can you get neck plan with meniere disease?
Well, I have increasing pain in the neck since I have Menieres disease. Stiffness, the feeling I have to 'unlock' my neck, pain when I move my head to the left or right shoulder, but sometimes relief when I do that, mostly after a hearable 'click' in the neck, like cracking it. Pain comes and goes, people I spoke to regarding this, told me it is possible that the body, confused by the damaged balance organ(s), tries to keep the head straight and causes stress on the neck bones and muscles, which ends up in pain. Even while the Balance organ is not 'confused' due to an attack, the attacks do damage it, and it will give less accurate signals to the brain, which, on its turn will try to compensate for this. Rob I'm sorry but the above statement is incorrect. The "unlocking" you feel in your neck is more than likely do to a disorder called Arnold Chiari. Which is a deformation of the skull. My mother suffered from Arnold Chiari and it caused her brain to sag into her spine which in turn caused a build up of spinal fluid creating cysts within her spine, this being called Syringomyelia. I was diagnosed with unilateral Meniere's in 2002 at the age of 15. I underwent a vestibular nerve section in 2008 where they actually opened my skull to sever the vestibular nerve and during the surgery they discovered I too have Arnold Chiari. It has been recently discovered that Meniere's may be a substantial offspring of Arnold Chiari. Please get an MRI and speak with a Neurologist.
Can spina bifida cause death?
Spina Bifida in and of itself does not cause death, however, in patients with Spina Bifida Cystica, the opening in the back leaves the baby susceptible to meningitis. For that reason, it is important that the opening be closed as soon as possible after birth. Many babies with Spina Bifida are also born with (or develop) Hydrocephalus, which is a build-up of fluid in the ventricles of the brain. If the Hydrocephalus goes untreated, brain damage, and ultimately death, can occur. One common cause of death in people with Spina Bifida is Arnold-Chiari Malformation Type II. This is a malformation of the brain in which the brain stem extends down into the cerebral tonsils. As a result, the brain may press against spinal nerves that control breathing, which can result in respiratory arrest and death.
What is cavernous malformation in the left parietal lobe?
A cavernous malformation or also called cavernous angioma or cavernous hemangioma or cavernoma is a malformation in the capillaries, and when located in the brain or spine (nervous system) may bleed and in turn can cause neurological deficits. The shape of this malformation resembles that of a raspberry/ These neurological deficits may be headaches, dizziness, double vision, memory issues etc. This is also dependent on the location of the malformation as well as the size of the lesion and size of the bleed. Many people that have a cavernous malformation will never know they have them because they remain asymptomatic. There are people that have one cavernous malformation in what is called the sporadic form of the disease, while others have multiple cavernous malformations due to a genetic mutation in one of tree genes (ccm1, ccm2, and ccm3).
