In 1 per 1,000 births, a baby will be born with a medical condition known as the Arnold-Chiari Malformation or a deformation of the skull. It is characterized by frequent headaches, difficulty in swallowing, dizziness and/or vertigo, numb and tingling hands and feet, facial pain, abnormal/rapid heart rate, and in severe cases even difficulty in breathing and paralysis. Unfortunately, there is no cure for the condition. However, a talented neurosurgeon like Dr. Joseph Yazdi can perform surgery to reduce clinical symptoms and improve the quality of life. An experienced surgeon who is also a member of the SMISS (Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery), Dr. Joseph Yazdi is also a surgery expert on several other areas like vascular lesions, carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy and hydrocephalus (a severe condition due to an abnormal amount of spinal fluid in the brain).
