Overview
MRI
- MRI is the imaging modality of choice to evaluate for a Chiari I malformation. MRI findings:
- Cerebellar tonsillar herniation
- Wedge shaped tonsils
- Syringohydromyelia
- Small posterior fossa
- Obstructive hydrocephalus
- Brainstem anomalies
- Tonsillar displacement is measured from the basion-opisthion line on a sigittal image.
- Herniation is usually at least 5mm, though patients with 3-5mm herniation may also have the malformation.
- MRI CSF flow studies may prove to be helpful and are currently under investigation.
