Patients with Chiari I malformations often develop symptoms during their teen or early adult years. Less often, the disorder is seen in young children and older adults. In some cases, trauma triggers the onset of symptoms.
The symptoms are complex, progressing over time. Because of this complexity, the condition is often misdiagnosed. At times, Chiari I malformation is mistaken for fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, sinus disease, multiple sclerosis, and other complex disorders of the nervous system. Some patients have waited for years before an accurate diagnosis is made. Accurate diagnosis and plan of treatment is important before the patient’s nervous system suffers permanent injury.
