Re: Chiari 1.5
As per your reference I will let you know information of Chiari 1.5 malformation disease, so that you can get idea. The Chiari 1.5 malformation disease is defined as a tonsillar herniation with additional caudal descent of the brainstem through the foramen magnum, where there are four traditional types of Chiari malformations represent various clinical and anatomical processes. Radiographic features MRI MRI if the best method for the diagnosis with sagittal T1 WI to assess tonsillar herniation: Descent >6 mm favours Chiari I malformation and >12 mm suggests Chiari 1.5 malformation Associated findings may include Posterior angulation of the odontoid process Hydrocephalus Crowded small posterior fossa Syringohydromyelia Scoliosis Treatment and prognosis Posterior fossa decompression surgery for relieving any symptoms Sometimes repeated surgeries are required Pathology The Chiari 1.5 malformation likely results from a Chiari I malformation combined with a smaller posterior that in turn and leads to overcrowding caudal displacement of the medulla. Aetiology Congenital: progression of Chiari 1 malformation acquired Intracranial mass lesion Lumbar puncture |
