Abstract
Arnold-Chiari malformation is a constellation of congenital anomalies related to the hindbrain and base of the brain. It consists of cerebellar tonsils herniation through the foramen magnum into the cervical spinal canal. Chiari malformation is a rare entity and its etiology is not clearly known but said to be genetic. We report a case of Arnold Chiari Malformation type 1 with holocord syrinx.
