Chiari malformation: A chiari 1 malformation can be totally benign and found on an mr for another reason or it can be symptomatic with headaches, dizziness, walking problems, swallowing issues among other findings. A consultation with a neurosurgeon can determine whether the chiari is symptomatic and whether one should seek treatment.
