"Red Flag" Symptoms


The "Red Flag Symptoms" are related to brainstem compression; they generally occur in Chiari cases which are compounded by basilar invagination, basilar impression, retroflexion of the odontoid, and similar disorders.

The "Red Flag" Symptoms Are:

Severe swallowing problems
Tachyarrhythmias
Severe nausea (the kind that makes you waste away below the 90 lbs mark)
Central sleep apnea


We conducted a non scientfic online survey of symptoms people are having with Chiari and related disorders. Here are the results.
