| Arnold-Chiari malformation |
Arnold-Chiari malformation, sometimes referred to as the Chiari malformation, is an anomaly of the brain in which the cerebellar tonsils are elongated and pushed down through the opening of the base of the skull (see foramen magnum), blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

| Arnold-Chiari malformation |

Thought to be fundamentally the same as anencephaly and spina bifida.
