Chiari Malformation in Children

Gregory W Albert. Pediatr Clin North Am. 2021 Aug.

Abstract

Chiari malformation type 1 (CM1) is often found incidentally. However, patients with symptoms or signs referable to CM1 or an associated syrinx will likely benefit from surgical intervention. Patients who are not symptomatic from CM1 at presentation are unlikely to become symptomatic at follow-up.

Keywords: Chiari malformation; Scoliosis; Syringomyelia.
