With the advent of MRI, the diagnosis of Chiari I malformation is being made in younger patients, often with minimal or no neurologic symptoms.
The symptoms and signs of a Chiari I malformation may be related to the compression of neural and/or dural structures at the cranio-cervical junction or may be related to the associated syringomyelia. Scoliosis is a particularly important and common finding in those children with syringomyelia.
随着磁共振成像(MRI)的出现,Chiari I型畸形在更年轻的患者中得以诊断,这些患者通常只有轻微的神经症状或没有神经症状。
Chiari I型畸形的症状和体征可能与颅颈交界处神经和/或硬脑膜结构受压有关,也可能与相关的脊髓空洞症有关。脊柱侧弯是患有脊髓空洞症的儿童中一个特别重要且常见的表现。
