Is Chiari A Brain Malformation. How Is It Related?
I have a patient who has what sounds like a right carotid bruit. When asked if she was aware of it, she mentioned that she has chiari. My understanding of chiari is a brain malformation. How would/could that be related? I don t want to overlook anything. Thank you! Lisa

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I appreciate your concern, bruit sound is systolic sound heard over the carotid area and that is almost not related with any disease, it could because of the lower diameter of carotid artery, the condition that you have stated here (Chiari) is nothing to take with this, hope this information helps you have nice day.
