The real cause behind this malformation is still unknown. Patients may remain asymptomatic until they engender a deteriorating situation, such as cervical trauma. The objective of this case report is to give a broad perspective on CM-I from the clinical findings obtained in a patient with asymptomatic non-communicating syringomyelia associated with a CM-I exacerbated within 2 years of a TBI, and to discuss issues related to that condition.http://beat.sums.ac.ir/article_44312_f34235c8bda503a5561ff5676cf37b4b.pdfChiari Malformation type-IAsymptomaticTraumatic brain injury
