Özet

Objective: Chiari type I malformation (CMI) is a congenital disorder characterized by caudal displacement of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum into the spinal canal. Recent studies suggest that overcrowding in the posterior cranial fossa (PCF) because of underdeveloped bony structures in the intrauterine life is the main cause of this malformation. For this reason, the authors want to contribute to the current literature, which focuses on bone abnormalities in the PCF in patients with CMIs.
