Arnold-Chiari Malformation
What is Arnold-Chiari Malformation?
Arnold-Chiari Malformation, also known as Chiari malformation, is a congenital structural defect involving the cerebellum and brainstem. It’s characterized by the displacement of a part of the cerebellum, the region responsible for balance and coordination, through the foramen magnum (the opening at the base of the skull) into the upper spinal canal. This condition is categorized into four types, with Type I being the most common and Types II, III, and IV being rarer and more severe. Chiari malformation can impede the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), potentially causing various neurological symptoms.
