Overview
The exact pathogenesis of [disease name] is not fully understood.
OR
It is thought that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].
OR
[Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host.
OR
Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell.
OR
[Disease or malignancy name] arises from [cell name]s, which are [cell type] cells that are normally involved in [function of cells].
OR
The progression to [disease name] usually involves the [molecular pathway].
OR
The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.
Pathophysiology
Physiology
The normal physiology of [name of process] can be understood as follows:
Pathogenesis
- The exact pathogenesis of [disease name] is not completely understood.
OR
- It is understood that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].
- [Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host.
- Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell.
- [Disease or malignancy name] arises from [cell name]s, which are [cell type] cells that are normally involved in [function of cells].
- The progression to [disease name] usually involves the [molecular pathway].
- The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.
Genetics
- Genes involved in the pathogenesis of Arnold-Chiari malformation include:
- PAX1
- PAX2
- PAX3
- PAX6
- FGF2
- TBX6
- HOX gene
- Noggin gene
- EFNB1
- There are many findings emphasizing on genetic basic of Chiari malformation including:
- Many studies described higher prevalence of Chiari malformation among mono zygote twins or between family members.
- There are some evidence showing autosomal dominant/ recessive transmission.
- There are many genetic conditions that have association with Chiari malformation.
Associated Conditions
Conditions associated with Arnold-Chiari malformation include:[1][2][3][4]
- Hydrocephalus[5]
- Syringomyelias
- Tethered spinal cord syndrome
- Neurofibromatosis type 1
- Noonan syndrome
- Pierre Robin sequence
- Klippel-Feil syndrome
- Albright hereditary osteodystrophy
- X-linked aqueductal stenosis
- Goldenhar syndrome
- Williams syndrome
- Shprintzen- goldberg syndrome
- Achondroplasia
- Familial osteosclerosis
- Velocardiofacial syndrome
- Connective tissue disorders such as:
Gross Pathology
On gross pathology, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].
Microscopic Pathology
On microscopic histopathological analysis, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].
- The most widely accepted pathophysiological mechanism by which Chiari Type 1 Malformations occur is by a reduction or lack of development of the posterior fossa as a result of either congenital or acquired disorders.
- The cerebellar tonsils are elongated and pushed down through the opening of the base of the skull (see foramen magnum), blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
- The brainstem, cranial nerves, and the lower portion of the cerebellum may be stretched or compressed.
- Therefore, any of the functions controlled by these areas may be affected. The blockage of CSF flow may also cause a syrinx to form, eventually leading to syringomyelia. Many sufferers turn to the Chiari Institute in Long Island, NY for specialized medical attention and medication.
