Preferred Label : arnold-chiari malformation;
MeSH definition : A group of congenital malformations involving the brainstem, cerebellum, upper spinal
cord, and surrounding bony structures. Type II is the most common, and features compression
of the medulla and cerebellar tonsils into the upper cervical spinal canal and an
associated MENINGOMYELOCELE. Type I features similar, but less severe malformations
and is without an associated meningomyelocele. Type III has the features of type II
with an additional herniation of the entire cerebellum through the bony defect involving
the foramen magnum, forming an ENCEPHALOCELE. Type IV is a form a cerebellar hypoplasia.
Clinical manifestations of types I-III include TORTICOLLIS; opisthotonus; HEADACHE;
VERTIGO; VOCAL CORD PARALYSIS; APNEA; NYSTAGMUS, CONGENITAL; swallowing difficulties;
and ATAXIA. (From Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p261; Davis, Textbook
of Neuropathology, 2nd ed, pp236-46);
