==Overview==
The exact [[pathogenesis]] of Arnol-Chiari malformation is not fully understood but It is thought that Arnol-Chiari malformation is the result of [[bone]] [[developmental]] [[abnormalities]] or [[Mesoderm|mesodermal]] [[growth]] and differentiation [[abnormalities]]. [[Gene|Genes]] involved in the [[pathogenesis]] of Arnold-Chiari malformation include [[PAX1]], [[PAX2]], [[PAX3]], [[PAX6]], [[FGF2]], [[TBX6]], HOX [[gene]], [[Noggin (protein)|Noggin]] gene, and EFNB1. Conditions associated with Arnold-Chiari malformation include [[hydrocephalus]], [[Syringomyelia|syringomyelias]],[[Tethered spinal cord syndrome]], [[Neurofibromatosis type I|neurofibromatosis type 1]], [[Noonan syndrome]], [[Pierre Robin syndrome|Pierre Robin sequence]], [[Klippel-Feil syndrome]], [[Albright hereditary osteodystrophy]], x-linked aqueductal stenosis, [[Goldenhar syndrome]], [[Williams syndrome]], [[Shprintzen-Golberg craniosynostosis|Shprintzen- goldberg syndrome]], [[achondroplasia]], familial osteosclerosis, [[velocardiofacial syndrome]], and [[connective tissue disorders]].


== Pathophysiology ==
==Pathophysiology==
*The most widely accepted pathophysiological mechanism by which Chiari Type 1 Malformations occur is by a reduction or lack of development of the [[posterior fossa]] as a result of either congenital or acquired disorders.
===Pathogenesis===
*The [[cerebellar tonsils]] are elongated and pushed down through the opening of the base of the [[skull]] (see [[foramen magnum]]), blocking the flow of [[cerebrospinal fluid]] (CSF).
*The [[brainstem]], cranial nerves, and the lower portion of the [[cerebellum]] may be stretched or compressed.
*Therefore, any of the functions controlled by these areas may be affected. The blockage of CSF flow may also cause a [[syrinx (medicine)|syrinx]] to form, eventually leading to [[syringomyelia]]. Many sufferers turn to the Chiari Institute in Long Island, NY for specialized medical attention and medication.

* The exact [[pathogenesis]] of Arnol-Chiari malformation is not fully understood but It is thought that Arnol-Chiari malformation is the result of cascade of anomalies that lead to:
**[[Bone]] [[developmental]] [[abnormalities]]
**[[Mesoderm|Mesodermal]] [[growth]] and differentiation [[abnormalities]]
* These [[Anomaly|anomalies]] can be [[congenital]] as a result of developmental error or acquired.
* All the potential causes of Chiari malformation will lead to [[posterior cranial fossa]] [[abnormalities]] and subsequently [[herniation]] of [[cerebellar]] and/or other structures from [[foramen magnum]].

Overview

The exact pathogenesis of Arnol-Chiari malformation is not fully understood but It is thought that Arnol-Chiari malformation is the result of bone developmental abnormalities or mesodermal growth and differentiation abnormalities. Genes involved in the pathogenesis of Arnold-Chiari malformation include PAX1, PAX2, PAX3, PAX6, FGF2, TBX6, HOX gene, Noggin gene, and EFNB1. Conditions associated with Arnold-Chiari malformation include hydrocephalus, syringomyelias,Tethered spinal cord syndrome, neurofibromatosis type 1, Noonan syndrome, Pierre Robin sequence, Klippel-Feil syndrome, Albright hereditary osteodystrophy, x-linked aqueductal stenosis, Goldenhar syndrome, Williams syndrome, Shprintzen- goldberg syndrome, achondroplasia, familial osteosclerosis, velocardiofacial syndrome, and connective tissue disorders.
