Introduction Chiari malformation is characterized by caudal descent of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum. Acquired Chiari malformations (ACM) have previously been described after a variety of pathologies including lumbar puncture, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage, lumboperitoneal shunts, and conditions causing craniocephalic disproportion. Case presentation We present four cases of ACM following spinal cord injury (SCI), which has not previously been described in the literature. Discussion ACM is rare and typically associated with abnormalities in CSF pressure or space-occupying lesions. This case series describes the potential association of SCI with ACM. We discuss the imaging findings and clinical management of these patients. Early recognition and intervention may be important to prevent progressive neurology in this vulnerable patient group.

脊髓损伤后获得性 Chiari 畸形——病例系列。

简介 Chiari 畸形的特点是小脑扁桃体通过枕骨大孔向尾部下降。获得性 Chiari 畸形 (ACM) 此前曾被描述为多种病理原因导致的，包括腰椎穿刺、脑脊液 (CSF) 引流、腰腹分流以及导致颅头不对称的病症。病例介绍我们介绍了四例脊髓损伤 (SCI) 后发生 ACM 的病例，此前文献中未曾描述过该病例。讨论 ACM 很少见，通常与脑脊液压力异常或占位性病变有关。本病例系列描述了 SCI 与 ACM 的潜在关联。我们讨论这些患者的影像学表现和临床治疗。早期识别和干预对于预防这一弱势患者群体的神经病学进展可能很重要。
