Question 1

what are possible causes of arnold-chiari malformation?

Accepted Answer

Acquired or congenit: There are both acquired and congenital forms of Chiari. In a 43 yo, it is likely acquired. The acquired form, almost always a Chiari I, may be caused by increased pressure in the head, or more likely the cause will be unknown. Chiari II is always a congenital condition and is much more severe than Chiari I (in general). Read more here: http://surgeonwriter.com/chiarimonograph/

Accepted Answer

Address Chiari: Suggest consultation  with neurosurgeon regarding the grade 3 chiari, as this could have a vague relationship, but the nausea suggests this could be inner ear instead.  Seek an otolaryngologist to evaluate this part.

Question 4

an 8 year old develops scoliosis because of an arnold chiari malformation. the bowel transit time changes from 8 hours to 24 hours. the color of the feces change from a darker brown to a light brown. what causes the change in transit time? and color?

Accepted Answer

: The Chiara malformation can coexist with scoliosis but does no cause it. What you mean by transit time is unknown as the number doesn't match known values. Poop color is determined by the action of enzymes and germ action on the deep green bile added in transit, changes in tone have no significance.Your many assumptions are interesting but the post as written does not indicate a worrisome problem.

Question 5

what cause bp?

Accepted Answer

Multiple factors: The heart pumps blood under pressure into the arteries. The higher the resistance to flow the higher the pressure. Thus both the pressure generated by the heart and the resistance from the arteries determine the pressure. Hormones, kidney function, blood volume (salt related), the autonomic nervous system, etc. All regulate this process and can be responsible for abnormalities of blood pressure.
