Abstract:
Chiari I Malformation (CM) is a congenital pathology of rombencephalon development characterized by disparity of brain structures and bony compartment in posterior fossa. The incidence of Chiari I malformation ranges from 3.3 to 8.2 in 100 000. In 80% of cases CM is combined with syringomyelia. Combination of CM and pituitary adenoma (PA) is rare condition with just a few cases described in literature. Current article represents a case of successful treatment of patient with CM and PA combination and a 5-year follow-up.

01:19Cranial and Spinal Meninges
The cranial and spinal meninges are complex protective structures surrounding the central nervous system (CNS), consisting of the brain and spinal cord. These meninges consist of the dura mater, the arachnoid mater, and the pia mater. They protect the CNS, provide structural support, and aid in circulating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Cranial Meninges
These meningeal layers cover the cranium. The dura mater is the outermost layer of cranial meninges. It is a thick and durable membrane of dense...

01:27Esophageal Achalasia
Esophageal achalasia is a chronic neurogenic disorder characterized by impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and absent or ineffective peristalsis in the distal esophagus. This leads to a functional obstruction without a physical blockage, despite significant disruption of esophageal motility.EtiologyAchalasia is caused by degeneration of the myenteric (Auerbach's) plexus, specifically the loss of inhibitory ganglion cells that produce vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)...
