To present two cases in which patients with Type I Arnold-Chiari malformation (ACM) were treated with adjustments to the cervical spine for conditions unrelated to the anomaly.
The ACM is an anomaly of central nervous system development in which structures from the posterior fossa descend below the level of the foramen magnum.
The patients reported were adjusted multiple times to the cervical spine. No ill effects or complications were noted related to the ACM.
Asymptomatic Type I ACM is not necessarily a contraindication to skilled adjustments to the cervical spine.
介绍两例I型阿诺德 - 奇亚里畸形(ACM)患者因与该畸形无关的病症接受颈椎调整治疗的病例。
ACM是一种中枢神经系统发育异常,后颅窝结构向下延伸至枕骨大孔水平以下。
报告的患者接受了多次颈椎调整。未发现与ACM相关的不良影响或并发症。
无症状的I型ACM不一定是熟练进行颈椎调整的禁忌症。
