The Chiari 3 Malformation and a Systemic Review of the Literature

Conclusion: Chiari type 3 is a rare congenital malformation, and prior publications describing this developmental disorder have not demonstrated a consensus in its definition. In addition, outcomes have traditionally been reported as poor. This case illustration of a Chiari type 3 enforces the definition of an occipitocervical encephalocele with hindbrain herniation, and with proper management not all Chiari 3 malformation patients have bad outcomes.Pediatr Neurosurg
