We describe a 62-year-old woman who presented with a history of ataxia, dizziness and urinary urgency. Neurological examination disclosed a positive Romberg sign, ataxia and postural instability. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan showed Chiari type 1 malformation (CM1). Forty-eight months later, the patient was clinically improved and underwent a second MRI examination, which showed complete resolution of the Chiari 1 malformation. Spontaneous resolution of CM1 is exceptionally rare and has to be considered in the radiological and clinical management.
我们描述了一位62岁女性,她有共济失调、头晕和尿急病史。神经系统检查发现闭目难立征阳性、共济失调和姿势不稳。磁共振成像(MRI)扫描显示为Chiari 1型畸形(CM1)。48个月后,患者临床症状改善并接受了第二次MRI检查,结果显示Chiari 1型畸形完全消失。CM1的自发缓解极为罕见,在影像学和临床处理时均应予以考虑。
