Acute traumatic presentation of Chiari I malformation with central cord syndrome and presyrinx in an infant.

Conclusion: Acute neurological deficits may occur in infants with CM-I who, following trauma, sustain the equivalent of a central cord syndrome. Neurosurgical evaluation with MR should prompt timely/appropriate surgical decompression (e.g., suboccipital craniectomy and C1/2 laminectomy). PMID: 31893154 [PubMed]
