We describe two young women affected with syncopal episodes and occipital headache exacerbated by cough, sneezing, rising, or effort. MRI revealed in both patients type I Arnold-Chiari malformation. A craniospinal pressure dissociation with brainstem compression may be involved in the pathogenesis of headache and syncope.

Abstract

We describe two young women affected with syncopal episodes and occipital headache exacerbated by cough, sneezing, rising, or effort. MRI revealed in both patients type I Arnold-Chiari malformation. A craniospinal pressure dissociation with brainstem compression may be involved in the pathogenesis of headache and syncope.
