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.
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- 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
- Mesodermal growth and differentiation abnormalities
- These 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.
Genetics
- Genes involved in the pathogenesis of Arnold-Chiari malformation include:[1]
- There are many findings emphasizing on genetic basic of Chiari malformation including:
- Many studies described higher prevalence of Chiari malformation among mono zygote twins or between family members.
- There are some evidence showing autosomal dominant/ recessive transmission.
- There are many genetic conditions that have association with Chiari malformation.
Associated Conditions
Conditions associated with Arnold-Chiari malformation include:[2][3][4][5][6]
- Hydrocephalus[7]
- 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
- Connective tissue disorders such as:
Gross Pathology
On gross pathology, there is no characteristic finding of Chiari malfromation.
Microscopic Pathology
On microscopic pathology, there is enlaged, dysplastic / reactive fibrous tissue and choroid plexus in a Chiari II malformation .
