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.
Why would a patient still have symptoms after having the surgery for Arnold Chiari malformation?
I think it can come back
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.
Can you fly with a chiari malformation?
It depends how well your symptoms are managed. If you are often having trouble with slowed reflexes, confusion, and visual disturbances (whether aura or blurred vision), then you may wish to refrain from being behind the wheel.
What would be wrong with a premature six year old if she had cybreal palsey chronic lung disease and weighed 15 and a half when she was born she now is having a lot of migrains and falling a lot?
She could possibly have Chiari Malformation. I am not a doctor. However, her symptoms sound very familiar to me. I was recently diagnosed and the side effects from this condition includes migraines and lost of coordination. I was also a premature baby and had problems keeping balance as a child. Chiari is rare and sometimes can be hard to be notice by regular doctors exams. For more information about Chiari ask you primary care physican. In my case, I had to seek a neurologist because alot of doctors werent familiar with Chiari Malformation. The best way to test for Chiari is by requesting a MRI or CAT Scan. The radiation from a CT can be dangerous, so an MRI should be your first choice. I hope this info hopes answer your question, but as I stated before, I am not a doctor.
Can you be in the military after having Arnold chiari malformation type 1 surgery?
I'll know shortly. I was diagnosed in March of '04, and had surgery to decompress in April of '04. Since then, I have been trying to get into the service to no avail. Finally, after fifteen MRI's, a dozen EEG's, and about 25 cotton-ball-pin-prick tests, I've healed to the point where I might be viable for service. My records are currently under review with the ANG. I'll let you know how it goes!
What is brain coning?
Tonsillar herniationIn tonsillar herniation, also called downward cerebellar herniation,[4] or "coning", the cerebellar tonsils move downward through the foramen magnum possibly causing compression of the lower brainstem and upper cervical spinal cord as they pass through the foramen magnum.[5]Increased pressure on the brainstem can result in dysfunction of the centers in the brain responsible for controlling respiratory and cardiac function. Tonsillar herniation of the cerebellum is also known as a Chiari Malformation (CM), or previously an Arnold Chiari Malformation (ACM). There are at least three types of Chiari malformation that are widely recognized, and they represent very different disease processes with different symptoms and prognosis. These conditions can be found in asymptomatic patients as an incidental finding, or can be so severe as to be life-threatening. This condition is now being diagnosed more frequently by radiologists, as more and more patients undergo MRI scans of their heads. Cerebellar ectopia is a term used by radiologists to describe cerebellar tonsils that are "low lying" but that do not meet the radiographic criteria for definition as a Chiari malformation. The currently accepted radiographic definition for a Chiari malformation is that cerebellar tonsils lie at least 5mm below the level of the foramen magnum. Some clinicians have reported that some patients appear to experience symptoms consistent with a Chiari malformation without radiographic evidence of tonsillar herniation. Sometimes these patients are described as having a 'Chiari [type] 0'.There are many suspected causes of tonsillar herniation including: decreased or malformed posterior fossa (the lower, back part of the skull) not providing enough room for the cerebellum; hydrocephalus or abnormal CSF volume pushing the tonsils out. Connective tissue disorders, such as Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, can be associated. GrantFor further evaluation of tonsillar herniation, CINE flow studies are used. This type of MRI examines flow of CSF at the cranio-cervical joint. For persons experiencing symptoms with seemingly Max herniation, especially if the symptoms are better in the supine position and worse upon standing/upright, an upright MRI may be useful.[2]

If a chap 13 bankruptcy is discharged and a bill is left unpaid can third party collections attempt to collect on it?
A bankruptcy can be closed or dismissed. It cannot be "discharged." The debtor is discharged from having to pay any dischargeable bills. If the 13 was successfully completed, and the debt was listed as an unsecured debt if the unsecured creditors were paid something under the plan, it might not have been discharged. Many third party debt collection law firms and agencies are trying to collect discharged debts in violation of the permanent stay. It is illegal.
