The impact of craniocervical instability can range from minor symptoms to severe disability in which patients are bed-bound. The constellation of symptoms caused by craniocervical instability is known as "cervico-medullary syndrome" [4] and includes: [5] [6] [7] Anxiety disorder
Instability of the cervical spine can cause endangerment of patients and their neurological integrity. [28] Correction and decompression cervical spinal surgeries significantly increase quality of life and reduce symptoms. Post-surgery, 93 to 100 percent of patients report reduced cervicocranial syndrome symptoms such as neck pain. [29] [30]
Treatment for KFS is symptomatic and may include surgery to relieve cervical or craniocervical instability and constriction of the spinal cord, and to correct scoliosis. [citation needed] If symptomatic treatment fails, spinal surgery may provide relief.
“My symptoms got 10 times worse once I went into perimenopause. My brain would go to 20 zillion different places. I had to find new ways of handling it. Even things as simple as bringing my ...
A common cognitive disorder with symptoms that mimic Alzheimer's is often mistaken for the disease. Researchers are calling for criteria to diagnose the little-known condition.
Craniocervical instability is caused by trauma(s) to the head and neck areas such as concussion and whiplash. Ligaments in the neck are unable to heal properly, so the neck structure cannot support the skull, which can then sink into the brain stem, blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which in turn causes autonomic dysfunction.
The study does have some limitations when attempting to compare between different viruses, the doctor noted. "Patients were required to self-report their symptoms," he said. "This makes the ...
Patients who exhibit extreme joint hypermobility and connective tissue weakness as a result of Ehlers–Danlos syndrome or Marfan syndrome are susceptible to instabilities of the craniocervical junction; thus they are at risk for acquiring a Chiari malformation.
