The Arnold Chiari malformation is a congenital abnormality of Central nervous system, characterized by downward displacement of the parts of the cerebellum, fourth ventricle, pons and medulla oblongata into the spinal canal. The malformation is named after Austrian pathologist Hans Chiari and German pathologist Julius Arnold, as Arnold–Chiari malformation.
