737 top medical experts on Arnold-Chiari Malformation across 37 countries and 41 U.S. states, including 690 MDs (Physicians). This is based on an objective analysis of their Scientific Publications, Clinical Trials, Medicare, and NIH Grants.

  1. Arnold-Chiari Malformation: A group of congenital malformations involving the brainstem, cerebellum, upper spinal cord, and surrounding bony structures. Type II is the most common, and features compression of the medulla and cerebellar tonsils into the upper cervical spinal canal and an associated meningomyelocele. Type I features similar, but less severe malformations and is without an associated meningomyelocele. Type III has the features of type II with an additional herniation of the entire cerebellum through the bony defect involving the foramen magnum, forming an encephalocele. Type IV is a form a cerebellar hypoplasia. Clinical manifestations of types I-III include torticollis; opisthotonus; headache; vertigo; vocal cord paralysis; apnea; nystagmus, congenital; swallowing difficulties; and ataxia.
