title: Vertigo associated with Chiari I malformation and syringomyelia.
abstract: We report a rare case of a patient with late onset of Chiari I malformation with associated syringomyelia that was successfully treated with foramen magnum decompression. Our patient is presenting initially with vertigo and gradual weakening of the left-hand gross motor ability, gradual hypesthesia. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a Chiari I malformation with syringomyelia. Posterior fossa decompression, C1 laminectomy and duroplasty were performed. After surgery, the vertigo completely resolved (Fig. 2, Ref. 13). Full Text (Free, PDF) www.bmj.sk.
