Zusammenfassung

Die Chiari-Malformation ist eine der häufigsten kongenitalen Anomalien, welche eine Fehlbildung der knöchernen hinteren Schädelgruppe und der ersten Halswirbel sowie der neuronalen Strukturen kombiniert. Als bildgebendes Verfahren der Wahl für die Diagnose der Chiari-Malformation gilt heutzutage die Magnetresonanztomographie (MRT). Die Computertomographie (CT) kann mit zusätzlichen Informationen zur knöchernen Fehlbildungen beitragen.

Abstract

Chiari malformation is one of the most common congenital anomalies involving both skeletal and neuronal structures. Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) is nowadays considered the imaging technique of choice for the diagnosis of Chiari malformations. Computed Tomography (CT) scans may provide additional information about skeletal anomalies.
