ABSTRACT

Background: The Arnold-Chiari malformation (ACM) is a group of congenital abnormalities of the hindbrain and the spinal cord and is characterized by herniation of the cerebellum, kinking of the medulla oblongata and hydrocephalus; the anesthetic management is complicated due to the anatomic and physiologic alterations. Case description:A 23 years old woman with Arnold-Chiari type II malformation, and perforated appendicitis. Conclusions: The present case demonstrates that patients with partially corrected ACM type II, restrictive lung disease due to scoliosis and perforated appendicitis delivery require an interdisciplinary team approach, diligent preparation, and skilled physicians.
