| Summary: |
Purpose: The aim of
this study was to remind the symptoms and diagnostic
methods helpful to recognize Arnold – Chiari syndrome.
Matherial and methods: We have presented a
53-year-old woman with papilledema who was operated and
treated oncologically because of right breast tumor –
four years ago. As a result of diagnostic research which
took into consideration a brain magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI), the suspicion of metastatic cerebral
tumor was excluded and Arnold – Chiari malformation was
diagnosed.
Conclusions: The intracranial hypertension and
it's ocular manifestation – papilloedema may be caused
by different, also congenital, reasons. The brain MRI is
the mainly procedure to diagnose the Arnold – Chiari
malformation. |
