The answer here is yes! My daughter was recently diagnosed with ACM so we have really read up on the subject. ACM is a very serious thing. It can lead to all types of nerve damage. You can loose motor skills as well. I hope you are seeing a nuerologist who has dealt with ACM. Many have never had a case and from everything I have read you need someone who is a specialist in ACM.

Tethered cord, at least after the surgery to repair, has caused temporary blindness. I’m not sure if the symptoms you described are ACM, but I have also heard of dizzyness, vertigo and ringing in ears as related to ACM.
