Basilar invagination and Chiari malformation are often seen together, as they can both cause compression of the same structures. The presence of both conditions can lead to more severe symptoms and may require more aggressive treatment.
Treatment for basilar invagination and Chiari malformation may include medications to manage symptoms, physical therapy to improve strength and coordination, and surgery to relieve pressure on the brainstem and spinal cord. The specific treatment plan will depend on the severity of the condition and the individual's symptoms.
