Hans von Chiari, Professor of Morbid Anatomy at Charles University in Prague, 1891 published a his findings describing three cases with malformations of the lower part of the cerebellum and brain stem. type I, II, and III. These were later, named the Chiari malformations in his honor.
In the Chiari malformation Type I (the cerebellar tonsils herniate down into the upper cervical spinal canal with the lower brain stem sometimes hanging down into the spinal canal. Type II has the lower brain stem, cerebellar vermis, and tonsils hanging down below the foramen magnum. Type III malformation has the tissues of the posterior fossa displaced into a soft sac (meningocele) at the back of the head and upper neck.

Oral mandibular dystonia can sometimes be associated with Arnold Chiari malformation due to compression of the brainstem. Inheritance of Arnold Chiari malformation is rare and more commonly occurs sporadically, but genetic factors can play a role in some cases. It is possible for your daughter to inherit a genetic predisposition to Arnold Chiari malformation from her father, although the specific genetic mechanisms are not well understood. A detailed evaluation by a healthcare professional is recommended to explore these possibilities further.

How is a diagnosis of Arnold-Chiari malformation made?
An Arnold-Chiari malformation is diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) . An MRI uses magnetism and radio waves to produce a picture of the brain and show the crowding of the space between the brain and spinal cord.
Does Arnold chiari malformation cause chills?
Arnold-Chiari malformation primarily affects the brain and spinal cord, leading to symptoms such as headaches, neck pain, and balance issues, but it is not directly known to cause chills. Chills may arise from other conditions or complications associated with the malformation, such as infections or neurological disturbances. If someone experiences chills alongside other symptoms of Arnold-Chiari malformation, it's essential to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
