Coexistence of Chiari malformation type I and isolated hemihypertrophy in a 15-year old girl: a case report

Abstract

Hemihypertrophy is the asymmetrical growth of one or more parts of the body, and might be either isolated or a component of various syndromes. Coexistence of isolated hemihypertrophy and Chiari malformation type I are very rarely. In this study, our objective was to present a 15 years old girl case with isolated hemihypertrophy and Chiari malformation type I in the light of literature data.
