Abstract

We present a 9-month-old infant with persistent cough refractory to conventional asthma therapy. An extensive evaluation eventually revealed a Chiari I malformation with syringohydromyelia. His cough resolved one month after surgical decompression, suggesting that brainstem compression from the Chiari malformation directly caused his symptoms.

摘要

我们报告一名9个月大的婴儿，患有常规哮喘治疗无效的持续性咳嗽。广泛评估最终发现其患有Chiari I畸形并伴有脊髓空洞症。手术减压1个月后他的咳嗽症状消失，这表明Chiari畸形导致的脑干受压直接引起了他的症状。
