Case Reports[Arnold-Chiari I malformation: three unusual manifestations].
Arnold-Chiari Syndrome I is a malformation of the cervicomedullary junction, manifesting usually with downbeat nystagmus, palsy of the caudal cerebral nerves, headache, and vertigo. ⋯ Arnold-Chiari malformation may manifest atypically. An important step in the work-up of these patients is to ask the neuroradiologist to include the cervicomedullary junction in his evaluation.

Bilateral peripapillary subretinal neovessel membrane associated with chronic papilledema: report of two cases.
Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) usually results in headaches and papilledema with infrequent loss of visual acuity. Peripapillary subretinal neovessel membranes (PSNVM) rarely complicate chronic papilledema. ⋯ PSNVMs are rare complications of chronic papilledema, as only 10 patients have been reported so far in the literature. Absence of headaches in both of our patients was probably responsible for the late diagnosis, hence chronicity of papilledema. Laser therapy of PSNVM might not be necessary once the ICP is lowered.
