    Author: Green AJ.
    Journal: Pediatr Nurs; 2003; 29(4):331-5. PubMed ID: 12956559.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of the Chiari I malformation is unknown; however, with increased diagnostic procedures, the diagnosis is becoming more common. In the past, Chiari I has been diagnosed in adulthood, but the condition is now being observed more frequently in pediatric clients. This article will review the clinical manifestations, diagnostic procedures, and treatment options available for Chiari type I (Chiari I) malformation. The nursing considerations for this condition are also discussed.
