INTRODUCTION 
 Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) patients exhibit clear clinical signs and symptoms of higher intracranial pressure (ICP) without ventricular enlargement or mass lesions. The clinical picture of patients with PTC can sometimes be similar to that of Chiari Malformation type I (CMI). There is some evidence that Chiari I malformation and PTC may coexist, which raises the question of whethe...

La dysplasie acétabulaire de l’adulte jeune entraîne, dans plus de 50% des cas, une coxarthrose secondaire avant l’âge de 50 ans, l’ostéotomie de CHIARI a été décrite initialement dans le traitement de la dysplasie acétabulaire de l’enfant et de l’adolescent, elle a vu ses indications s’étendre à la dysplasie acétabulaire de l’adulte. Nous avons réalisé 9 ostéotomies de CHIARI de 2009 à 2012. L...

A case of a Chiari malformation with an extraordinarily thick occipital bone is described. The thick occipital bone might make the posterior fossa narrow with consequent herniation of the cerebellar tonsils to the foramen magnum and formation of a syrinx. At dural plasty, well-developed marginal and occipital sinuses should be deliberately handled with the preservation of normal venous drainage...

A twenty-month-old Chihuahua male dog was presented to us suffering with ataxia. Based on the physical examination, X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations, we diagnosed the dog with hydrocephalus, Chiari I malformation and syringomyelia. Treatment consisted of internal medical treatment and the placement of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. The ventricular dilatation was relie...

Budd Chiari Syndrome is a rare disease and can be difficult to diagnose. Most of the investigations to diagnose this disease are invasive. Liver scintiscanning is not only non-invasive, it also shows a typical pattern in this condition. Good correlation exists between Liver scanning and other procedures. A case of Budd Chiari Syndrome with typical clinical and scan findings is described (JPMA 3...

We report a four year old boy who presented with liver failure secondary to anti-thrombin III deficiency related Budd Chiari syndrome. He was treated with TIPSS (transjugular intrahepatic porto systemic shunt) which reversed the encephalopathy, normalised the liver function and improved growth, pre-empting the need for a liver transplantation. This is the first reported case of TIPSS in a child...

Background Numerous studies suggest a non-chance association among Chiari, syringomyelia, and scoliosis, though the relationship remains a mystery. Studies suggest that more than sixty percent of patients receiving decompression surgery had no change (14%) or a worsening (48%) of their scoliosis symptoms. Curve reduction following Chiari treatment through the utilization of conservative scolios...
