Acquired Chiari Type 1 Malformation Secondary to Paget’s Disease of the Bone: A Case Report

Chiari type 1 malformations are characterised by caudal descent of cerebellar tonsil into foramen magnum. Usually it is congenital. Paget’s disease causing acquired chiari type 1 malformation is rare with only five reported cases in the literature. The diagnosis is primarily by Magnetic Resonance...
