ABSTRACT
Chiari malformations are brain stem anomalies with or without spinal canal involvement. The combination of brain stem and cerebellar anomaly with a cervical cele is named Chiari III malformation. Patients with this extremely rare defect frequently present with severe neurological defects and can have a poor prognosis. Following a report on a newborn child with a Chiari III malformation that took a fatal but typical course the literature is reviewed.
