Chiari Malformation

 
 
Chiari (kee-AR-ee) malformation (CM) includes a complex group of disorders characterized by herniation of the cerebellum through the large opening in the base of the skull (foramen magnum) into the spinal canal. The herniated tissue blocks the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain and can lead to the formation of a cavity (syrinx) within the spinal cord. There are three main types of CM. CM1, the simplest and most prevalent form, is generally considered to be a congenital malformation, although acquired cases are recognized. (See diagrams below.) It is rarely apparent at birth. CM2 and CM3 are more severe congenital malformations that are apparent at birth and associated with complex defects of the brain and spinal cord.
Patients with CM1 may experience no symptoms. When symptoms are present, they usually do not appear until adolescence or early adulthood, but can occasionally be seen in young children. The majority of patients complain of severe headache and neck pain. Other common symptoms are dizziness, vertigo, disequilibrium, visual disturbances, ringing in the ears, difficulty swallowing, palpitations, sleep apnea, muscle weakness, impaired fine motor skills, chronic fatigue and painful tingling of the hands and feet. Because of this complex symptomatology, patients with CM1 are frequently misdiagnosed.How common is Chiari Malformation?
Until recent years, CM1 was regarded as a rare condition. With the increased availability of magnetic resonance imaging, the number of reported cases has risen sharply. Current estimates range from 200,000 to 2 million Americans with the condition. Genetic studies spearheaded by Dr. Milhorat support a hereditary tendency with a transmissibility rate of 12 percent. Women are affected three times more often than men. Approximately 3,500 Chiari operations are performed each year in the United States.

Yes there is a huge ass chance I may have a operation for cm type 1

Hypopituitarism

Hypopituitarism Hypopituitarism happens when the pituitary gland fails to produce one or more hormones that are used to manage other glands in the body. (If the pituitary gland is failing to produce two or more hormones, it is called multiple pituitary hormone deficiency ; if it fails to produce any hormones, the condition is called panhypopituitarism .) Symptoms of Hypopituitarism Symptoms of hypopituitarism will vary depending on which hormones are not being produced. Not everyone will have all the symptoms listed below. Among the possible symptoms are: * Constipation * Diabetes insipidus * Difficulties conceiving a child * Disturbed vision * Dry skin * Fatigue and a lack of energy * Greater sensitivity to cold * Headaches * Impotence in males * Irregular monthly periods (oligomenorrhoea) or no monthly periods (amenorrhoea) in women * Low blood pressure and dizziness on standing * Lower sex drive * Muscle weakness * Paleness * Reduced body hair * Weight gain Causes and Risk Factors for Hypopituitarism A variety of things can cause hypopituitarism, including: * Accidents or injuries such as those associated with a fracture of the base of the skull * Autoimmune disorders of the pituitary gland * Complications of surgery or radiation * Hemochromatosis, a disorder in which the blood has too much iron * Infections such as meningitis, malarial or pituitary abscesses * Interruption or total blocking of the blood supplying the pituitary gland with oxygen. This causes the tissues of the pituitary gland to die. This can be caused by pituitary failure or severe bleeding. It can also be caused by poor circulation due to diabetes or sickle cell anemia. * Tumors of the hypothalamus gland * Tumors of the pituitary gland such as adenomas or craniopharyngioms Diagnosing Hypopituitarism Symptoms of hypopituitarism tend to be general and can resemble other conditions, including anorexia nervosa, chronic liver disease and hemachromatosis. An accurate diagnosis is essential before treatment is started. If hypopituitarism is suspected, a doctor may order: * Magnetic resonance imaging scans * Blood tests to measure the amount of different hormones in the blood. In particular, tests should be done for thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and ACTH. A lack of these hormones can be life-threatening. Prolactin levels may also be measured. Treating Hypopituitarism Once the missing hormone(s) have been identified, treatment consists of replacing the hormones produced by the target glands. If the causes of the lack of hormones is a pituitary tumor, surgery may be needed as well. Some endocrinologists also prescribe drugs that work with dopamine (dopamine agonist drugs) such as bromocriptine, pergolide or cabergoline to treat prolactinomas. Radiation may also be used in addition to surgery and drug therapy. Resources at Cedars-Sinai * Cedars-Sinai Pituitary Center
Pituitary gland failure or apoplexy is the sudden failure of the pituitary gland. This can happen because of severe bleeding or a loss of oxygen to the tissues of the pituitary gland causing tissue death. These events can happen either within the pituitary gland itself or within tumor inside the pituitary gland. Symptoms of Pituitary Gland Failure The most common symptoms include sudden severe headache with nausea and vomiting, double vision or loss of vision, change in mental status, loss of eye muscle control, and meningismus (symptoms associated with irritation of the brain and spinal cord). Other symptoms can include fever, pituitary failure, loss of consciousness, hypothalamic failure and death. Causes and Risk Factors for Pituitary Gland Failure Pituitary apoplexy tends to occur most often in large tumors, macroadenomas. Pituitary apoplexy sometimes occurs as a result of bleeding into a normal pituitary gland; this most often happens in patients who have diabetes mellitus. Treating Pituitary Gland Failure It is usually treated by surgery soon after the symptoms occur. Resources at Cedars-Sinai * Cedars-Sinai Pituitary Center
Hypopituitarism is a disorder in which your pituitary gland fails to produce one or more of its hormones, or doesn't produce enough of them. The pituitary is a small bean-shaped gland located at the base of your brain, somewhat behind your nose and between your ears. Despite its size, this gland secretes hormones that influence nearly every part of your body. In hypopituitarism, you have a short supply of one or more of these pituitary hormones. This deficiency can affect any number of your body's routine functions, such as growth, blood pressure and reproduction. Hypopituitarism is a rare disorder. Treatment for hypopituitarism involves taking hormone replacement medications. If I don't go back on the hormone I will age fast and die at a young age the doctor could not say how long and or when.I thought let everyone know about this I very shocked when i was told about the message I have been fighting this problem since I was 4 years old.Plz don't feel sorry cause I the don't help I know I great time and great people I come to love.
