Chiari I畸形(CM)是一种常见的神经外科诊断，脊髓空洞多见于CM患者。无症状CM是一种常见的影像表现。有症状的CM较少见。患病率估计的差异可能归因于不同研究之间CM检测灵敏度的差异以及被分析人群的差异。儿童和年轻人与老年人相比，扁桃体位置低和MRI上的CM的患病率更高。包括大量老年人在内的研究发现，与对儿童的分析相比，患病率较低。
Chiari I malformation (CM) is a common neurosurgical diagnosis, and spinal cord syrinx is frequently found in patients with CM. Asymptomatic CM is a common imaging finding. Symptomatic CM is less common. Variation in prevalence estimates may be attributed to differences in sensitivity of CM detection between studies as well as differences in the populations being analyzed. The prevalence of low tonsil position and CM on MRI is higher in children and young adults compared with older adults. Studies that include a large number of older adults find a lower prevalence compared with analyses of children.
