Acquired Chiari I malformation due to lumboperitoneal shunt: A case report and review of literature

摘要

Background:The Type I malformations are supposed to be the result of mesodermal defects that create a congenitally small posterior fossa. However, Chiari malformation could be also “iatrogenic” and then called “acquired” Chiari I malformation. In this study, the authors report the clinical feature of a patient who developed a Chiari I malformation after lumboperitoneal shunt.
