title: Apnea associated with Chiari malformation: medullary hemorrhage revealed by MRI.
abstract: Medullary hemorrhage in the medulla oblongata of an infant with Chiari malformation, hydrocephalus, meningomyelocele and hypogenesis of the corpus callosum is reported. Four days after placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, spontaneous respiration diminished. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) successfully revealed a small medullary hemorrhage.
