The Chiari I malformation is a congenital abnormality of the cerebellum strongly associated with syringomyelia and also associated with bony abnormalities of the base of the skull and the cervical spine. This review examines the case of a 25 year old man who collapsed and died following a blow to the face and was found at post mortem to have a Chiari I malformation and syringomyelia but no gross or microscopic evidence of fresh brain or spinal cord injury. The occurrence of sudden and unexpected deaths in this condition is discussed especially in the context of apparently minor coincident trauma.
Chiari I型畸形是一种小脑先天性异常，与脊髓空洞症密切相关，也与颅底和颈椎的骨质异常有关。本综述探讨了一名25岁男性的病例，该男子在面部受击后倒地身亡，尸检发现有Chiari I型畸形和脊髓空洞症，但没有新鲜脑或脊髓损伤的大体或显微镜下证据。本文讨论了在这种情况下突然和意外死亡的发生情况，特别是在明显轻微的并发创伤背景下。
