Chiari malformation in female monozygotic twins
Br J Neurosurg.
2010 Oct.
Abstract
We describe the cases of female monozygotic twins who presented almost synchronously with symptomatic Chiari malformation type I. Both were successfully treated with foramen magnum decompression. We analyse these findings in the context of previously reported cases and discuss the genetic implications.
