CHIARI MALFORMATIONS IN CHILDREN

Chiari malformations represent different clini-cal and radiological clinical entities that share the herniation of the rhomboencephalic structures through the foramen magnum as a common characteristic. Chiari malformations can be symptomatic or asymptomatic. The therapeutic strategies fo...
