Nervous system related symptoms

Nervous system related symptoms

My husband has Arnold Chiari. He has always had short periods of time in which his hands become quite "shaky". The shakiness is becoming more frequent now. Is this a known sympton of Arnold Chiari, or should he be tested for Parkinson's Disease?

Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.

I  know it can depend on what nerves are being compressed .......also if he wasn't checked for other chiari related conditions like a syrinx, or tethered cord.....some of these can cause the shaky hands.

I had this issue I called it tremors.....

Make sure that he is tested for all the related conditions and that he is seen by a chiari specialist.
