I was involved in a car accident in March 30,2011. I went to the hospital for a headache due to the airbag hitting me in the face and extreme back pain. The xrays showed nothing serious and moderate whiplash. I have a friend of mine of whom I went to high school with. I have not seen her since then but recently talked to her. She was diagnosed with a aronald cheri malformation about 6 years ago. She also has been through 8 surgeries since then. Some of which her causes were due to severe whiplash from a car accident she was in. When I told her about my accident, she advised me not to settle but at that time, it was too late,I already did. She also told me that it took 2 years for her symptoms to get to its worst extent and that if it hit me, it would be like multiple sclerosis. I m not sure if she is telling me the truth or not. Is a aronald cheri malformation caused by moderate to severe whiplash?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor Thanks for the query. No, it can't be caused by whiplash or any injury, but it can become symptomatic after some injuries' is it means that man with b.Chiara syn Chat Doctor.  Regards
