INSIDE THE JOURNEY

A visual exploration of what happened inside my brain and neck.

SCROLL TO EXPLORE

Sometimes the important story is hidden inside.

Documented MRI finding

Chiari I Malformation

0.0mm

Cerebellar tonsillar descent โ€” approximately 11.9 mm below the foramen magnum.

Documented MRI finding

The space became crowded.

The MRI described crowding at the craniovertebral junction associated with the tonsillar descent.

Documented MRI finding

A small shift can change the picture.

Mild posterior displacement / distortion of the medulla. Shown conceptually; the arrow is not to scale.

Conceptual visualization

From image to understanding.

An MRI-style view becomes a simplified anatomical visualization.

The journey to surgery.

Documented MRI finding

Before.

The MRI report also partially described atlanto-occipital rotational asymmetry.

The procedure marked a new chapter.

The rings are abstract and educational, not a depiction of the procedure. No post-surgery MRI is part of this project.

Recovery is not one moment.
It is a journey.

Understand the finding.Understand the body.Understand the journey.Keep asking questions.
