Arnold-Chiari Malformation   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #7126 of 8028 |
My son charlie 18 months old, has lympomenigicelle and I am concerned about him
having Arnold-Chiari Malformation. I was aware that this was common in Myo but
not so much in Lypo. He is unable to suck with a straw and has some speech
problems such as limited vocab. and difficulty expressing himself. How can we
test for this? What can be done? What arer other symptoms? Any help or more
info. is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brent
