  • Title: [Type I Arnold-Chiari malformation: diagnostic considerations in a case].
    Author: Baldan A, Trevisan CP, Segalla P, Meneghetti G, Schergna E, Rigotti S.
    Journal: Riv Neurol; 1989; 59(4):158-60. PubMed ID: 2617028.
    Abstract:
    An 18-year-old patient with a 5-year history of periodic vertigo, headache and stiff neck is reported. Routine X-ray of the skull showed a mild form of basilar impression while the CT scan demonstrated only a tri-ventricular hydrocephalus. Without using the traditional invasive techniques, diagnosis of Chiari type I malformation was nonetheless clearly pointed out by magnetic resonance imaging of the posterior fossa and spinal cord. Diagnostic problems of this clinically ambiguous and uncharacterized syndrome are discussed.
