Groups of these episodes can occur over a few hours. The typical form results in episodes of severe, sudden, shock like pain in one side of the face that lasts for seconds to a few minutes. Trigeminal neuralgia - a chronic pain disorder that affects the trigeminal nerve. This typically causes increased pressure inside the skull. Hydrocephalus - a condition in which there is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain. It consists of a downward displacement of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum (the opening at the base of the skull), sometimes causing non- communicating hydrocephalus as a result of obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) outflow Chiari malformation - Chiari malformation, also known as Arnold–Chiari malformation, is a malformation of the skull. Aneurysms-An aneurysm is a localized, blood-filled balloon-like bulge in the wall of a blood vessel The most common form of myelopathy in human, cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is caused by arthritic changes (spondylosis) of the cervical spine, which result in narrowing of the spinal canal (spinal stenosis) ultimately causing compression of the spinal cord. Disease that is vascular in nature is known as vascular myelopathy. When inflammatory, it is known as myelitis. When due to trauma, it is known as a spinal cord injury. Myelopathy-Myelopathy describes any neurologic deficit related to the spinal cord. Facet joint syndrome-Facet syndrome is a syndrome in which the facet joints (synovial diarthroses, from C2 to S1) cause back pain Compression fractures-A compression fracture is a collapse of a vertebra Scoliosis-Scoliosis is a medical condition in which a person s spine has a sideways curve Spondylolisthesis-Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one bone in your back (vertebra) slides forward over the bone below it
Spondylosis-spondylosis is a broad term meaning degeneration of the spinal column from any cause. This cyst, called a syrinx, can expand and elongate over time, destroying the spinal cord. Syringomyelia- Syringomyelia is a generic term referring to a disorder in which a cyst or cavity forms within the spinal cord. This narrowing causes a restriction to the spinal canal, resulting in a neurological deficit Spinal stenosis-Spinal stenosis is an abnormal narrowing (stenosis) of the spinal canal that may occur in any of the regions of the spine. Spinal herniations- cervical, thoracic, and lumbar -Spinal disc herniation, also known as a slipped disc, is a medical condition affecting the spine in which a tear in the outer, fibrous ring of an intervertebral disc allows the soft, central portion to bulge out beyond the damaged outer rings.
