Chiari malformations!?
Chiari malformations (CMs) are structural defects in the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls balance!. Normally the cerebellum and parts of the brainstem sit in an indented space at the lower rear of the skull, above the foramen magnum (a funnel-like opening to the spinal canal)!. When part of the cerebellum is located below the foramen magnum, it is called a Chiari malformation!.
CMs may develop when the bony space is smaller than normal, causing the cerebellum and brainstem to be pushed downward into the foramen magnum and into the upper spinal canal!. The resulting pressure on the cerebellum and brainstem may affect functions controlled by these areas and block the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
