- Arnold Chiari malformation is a condition where the cerebellar tonsils herniate through the foramen magnum. MRI is the modality of choice for detecting and characterizing the full constellation of findings associated with Chiari II malformation1. The key features are myelomeningocele (lumbosacral spina bifida aperta) and a small posterior fossa with descended brainstem and cerebellar tonsils1. Neuroradiological investigation is used to rule out intracranial conditions responsible for tonsillar herniation, to evaluate the cerebellar tonsil position, the crowding of neural structures within the posterior cranial fossa and their impact on the foramen magnum2.Learn more:✕This summary was generated using AI based on multiple online sources.
