  • Title: Adult Arnold-Chiari malformation and intrinsic brain stem neoplasm: a difficult differential diagnosis.
    Author: Phillips TW, McGillicuddy JE, Hoff JT, Latack J.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1983 Oct; 13(4):345-50. PubMed ID: 6605490.
    Abstract:
    The occurrence of a brain stem neoplasm in three adults previously treated for an adult Arnold-Chiari malformation is reported. The diagnosis of adult Arnold-Chiari malformation had been confirmed by angiography and computed tomographic scanning. All patients were treated with a combination of ventricular shunts and posterior fossa decompression. The diagnosis of brain stem neoplasm was not made until late in the clinical course, and all patients died within 2 years of the onset of symptoms.
