Chiari type 1 deformity (Ch1) is associated with bony deformity of the skull base and herniation of cerebellar tonsils more than 5 mm below the foramen magnum. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used for diagnosis and surgery is advised for symptomatic children. We present a case series using MRI including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow, in children with Ch1 to demonstrate a variety of outcomes, both surgical and spontaneous: spontaneous resolution, spontaneous worsening, postsurgical improvement, and postsurgical deterioration.
