Chiari I malformation (CIM) is a rare congenital malformation of the hindbrain manifesting as herniation of the cerebellar tonsils below the foramen magnum [1]. It usually becomes symptomatic in late childhood or early adulthood. Patients may complain of headache or symptoms related to cranial nerve compression, cerebellar dysfunction, myelopathy and syringomyelia [1].
