What are people with a chiari malformation like?

Depends: Chiari i malformations may have no symptoms or headaches. Other chiari malformations may possibly lead to a shortened life span (for instance due to respiratory failure). Chiari ii may also have paralysis below an associated chord malformation. Chiari iii and IV are more severe.
