What is a Chiari Malformation?
A developmental anomoly that occurs at the base of the brain. This results in some of the brain structures being displaced down into the spinal canal.
It may result in an associated accumulation of fluid within the spinal cord, which is termed syringomyelia or hydromyelia. This can result in the formation of a cyst which causes neurological deficits.
