Hipertensión intracraneal idiopática en paciente con malformación de Chiari tipo I

Chiari malformation type I is the most common in this group of malformations, and is characterized by a greater than 5 mm descent of the tonsils, being able to cause increased intracranial pressure and papilledema by blocking the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid. In this case, the MC was not the responsible for triggering the secondary intracranial hypertension, but a mere coincidence of both processes.
