10 Symptoms of Chiari Malformation
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Speaking Difficulties
Being able to speak as we do requires a great deal of brain power. Not only do we need to be able to think of which words to use, but we also need to be able to coordinate our speech muscles to make the sounds we need to make. If the parts of the brain responsible for speech are affected, then talking can become a lot harder for us.
Many patients with a Chiari malformation will find that they have some difficulty in speaking. It is common for them to experience difficulties with their voice, such as speaking more coarsely than usual.
