RE: Cause of Death
The only clinical symptom preceding death was pain that seemed to originate from the cervical area. Presumptive cause of death is spinal cord compression. Due to the clinical signs of neck pain followed by peracute death, and radiological evidence of possible occipital dysplasia and malpositioning of C1 / Atlas, this cause seems probable. The radiographic images were also suggestive of hydrocephalus. Occipital dysplasia and spinal cord compression cannot be definitively diagnosed without MRI examination. |
yen this is all AAI related - AAI is in the C1-C2 area, it can cause the hydrocephalus on the brain when affected and the occipital dysplasia is in relation to the the skull being affected and why when you google occipital dysplasia chiari comes up - when the neck is affected it affects the spinal chord which causes swelling on the brain
The treatment would have been heavy duty steroids and bracing the neck immediately - check out bleu boy's story - I can try to find by googl
