A quick parental rating scale identifying children with executive dysfunction may be beneficial for neurosurgeons and assist with referrals for a more comprehensive neuropsychological assessment. research agenda and act as a focal point for the chiari research 33,121. Metacognitive problems, especially working memory and initiation problems were most prevalent. Conclusions: The parental report of executive dysfunction in children with CM1 was higher than the standardized healthy sample. Depression, gender, age and decompression surgery were not related to executive dysfunction. Rick Labudac aKent State University bUniversity of Akron cConquer Chiari Foundation. We all need to get out and learn more about Chiari and promote awareness in our local communities. Correlates of Chiari Malformation Pre- and Post- Surgical Correction Douglas L. One third of the sample demonstrated overall executive functioning impairment, with working memory elevations being most prevalent (44%). September is National Chiari Awareness Month. The most common neurological symptoms included: headache (69%), a history of pain (31%) and gait disturbance (20%). Thirty-eight subjects had had decompression surgery.
Results: The sample consisted of 41 males and 36 females with a mean age of 133.57 ± 42.18 months. Parents completed questions on a scale rating daily executive functioning as well as reporting on common neurological symptoms. Methods: Seventy-seven parental reports of children with CM1 were included in the study. In adults, inhibition problems and executive dysfunction have been documented. Co-PI, High Resolution Diffusion Tensor Imaging of the Cerebellum and Brainstem in Type I Chiari Malformation: Associations with Cognitive Function and Symptomatology, Conquer Chiari Foundation Grant Proposes to find morphometric measures (now 3-d instead of 2-d) that will predict symptom severity after neurosurgery (and it includes an event. Limited research relating to the cognitive dysfunction experienced by this population has been completed. Background: Children with Chiari malformation type 1 (CM1) have increasingly presented to neurosurgery clinics.
