However, Cleland was the first person to describe the first case of Chiari malformation in 1833. Julius Arnold, Chiaris colleague, made additional information and contributions to the definition of Chiari II malformation.

1. Genetic basis There are suggestions that occurrence of type I malformation is linked to chromosomes 9 and 15. 2. Disorder of para-axial mesoderm results in the formation of a small posterior fossa. In return, the cerebellum development within the small compartment would lead to overcrowding of the posterior fossa, herniation of the cerbellar tonsils and the impaction of the foramen magnum. Chiari Type II Maformation 1. CSF loss theory because chiari II malformation is associated with meylomeningocele, fluids escape through the open area in the myelomeningocele that leads to the inadequate stimulus for condensation at the base of the skull. Because of this, inadequate and disordered growth of the fossa occurs that results to the upward herniation of the vermis and the downward herniation of the brainstem. image from choa.org
