Chiari 1 malformation

Important features Small posterior cranial fossa herniation of the cerebellar tonsils through
the foramen magnum into the cervical spinal canal
Distention CSF of the central canal of spinal cord (ie, hydromyelia) or paracentral cavities (ie, syringomyelia) in 25%
not directly associated with other congenital brain malformations

Pathophysiology mesodermal disorder Underdevelopment of the occipital somites of
the para-axial mesoderm produces overcrowded (PCF).
Tonsillar herniation occurs secondarily as a result of mechanical factors.

Causes May have genetic basis its association with
known genetic disorders such as achondroplasia and Klippel-Feil syndrome
some families suggest an AD Acquired CMI is reported to develop after
lumboperitoneal or ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement,

CSF flow During systole: increase cerebral flow
craniocaudal displacement. during diastole: elastic recoil
reversal

remain asymptomatic for prolonged periods aged 10-30 years
arachnoidal adhesions may increase the compression of the hindbrain and spinal cord and further interfere with CSF flow at the foramen magnum and thus cause symptoms

Platybasia, basilar invagination abnormal flattening of the skull base When platybasia is associated with basilar
invagination, or the inward and upward migration of the cervical spine through the foramen magnum, signs and symptoms of compression of the brainstem and upper cervical cord can result (5).

Atlantooccipital assimilation The union of the atlas with the occipital bone constitutes the anomaly. There may be partial
or complete union

Klippel feil syndrome They described patients who had a short,
webbed neck; decreased range of motion (ROM) in the cervical spine; and a low hairline.
classified the syndrome into 3 categories:

THEORIES HYDRODYNAMIC THEORY: posterior fossa
herniation was related to supratentorial hydrocephalus
TRACTION THEORY:tethered spinal cord near the myelomeningocele may pull the cerebellum and medulla into the cervical canal
![Page 25: Chiari Malformation. Four types of Chiari malformations types I, II, III, and IV](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ea95503460f94bad638/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
complex deformity of the calvarium, dura, and hindbrain, and it is almost always associated with myelomeningocele

Cerebellar peg: Protrusion of vermis and hemispheres through the foramen magnum (90%) results in craniocaudal elongation of cerebellum behind the spinal cord
![Page 31: Chiari Malformation. Four types of Chiari malformations types I, II, III, and IV](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ea95503460f94bad638/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Medullary kink: The medulla is kinked inferiorly (75%) and lies dorsal to the spinal cord, which is unable to descend because of competent dentate ligaments
![Page 32: Chiari Malformation. Four types of Chiari malformations types I, II, III, and IV](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649ea95503460f94bad638/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Towering cerebellum or vermian pseudotumor: The cerebellar hemispheres and vermis also extend above the incisura of the tentorium

Tubelike elongated fourth ventricle: The fourth ventricle is elongated craniocaudally, narrowed transversely, and decreased in anteroposterior diameter
The cerebellopontine cistern and the cisterna magna are obliterated.

Beaked tectum: Variable degrees of fusion of the colliculi and tectum result in prominent beaking and inferior displacement of the tectal plat
Hydrocephalus Colpocephaly: The occipital horns and atria
are often mildly enlarged because of maldeveloped occipital lobes

Incompatible with life This condition always comprises of high
cervical and low occipital encephalocele Encephaloceles contain varying amounts of
brain i.e. cerebellum, occipital lobes, ventricles and sometimes pons and medulla
Herniated lesion may be strikingly abnormal and often nonfunctioning because of necrosis, gliosis, fibrosis and the presence of heterotropias
