We describe the cases of 2 adult patients who developed respiratory arrest and were found to have Arnold-Chiari malformation on magnetic resonance imaging. Following posterior fossa decompression both patients improved, though one of them subsequently died during sleep. Imaging of the craniocervical junction should be part of the workup of patients with unexplained apneic episodes.
我们描述了2例成年患者的病例，他们发生了呼吸骤停，磁共振成像检查发现患有阿诺德-奇阿利畸形。在进行后颅窝减压术后，两名患者均有改善，不过其中一人随后在睡眠中死亡。对于不明原因呼吸暂停发作的患者，颅颈交界区成像应作为检查的一部分。
