Pediatric Chiari Malformation is a condition where the brain tissue extends into the spinal canal, which can cause several health issues for children. This usually happens from birth and involves the cerebellum, a part of the brain that helps with balance, poking through an opening at the base of the skull.
As a parent, observing any irregularity in your child’s development can be a source of anxiety. One such condition that affects infants is craniosynostosis, a birth defect where one or more of the sutures in a baby’s skull close prematurely.
Pulsatile tinnitus (PT) is an abnormal perception of rhythmic sound without an external sound. About 3 to 5 million Americans suffer from pulsatile tinnitus. This is different from “ringing in the ears” which is a constant noise that usually affects both ears.
Chronic subdural hematoma occurs when blood builds up between the brain and its protective outer layer, the dura mater. This usually happens following a minor head injury.
Tethered Cord Syndrome is a lesser-known condition that affects the spine. It’s not widely discussed, but it has a big impact on the lives of people who suffer from it. This condition can greatly reduce the quality of life for those affected.
