title: Chiari II malformation mimicking partial rhombencephalosynapsis? A case report.
abstract: Rhombencephalosynapsis is a rare congenital intracranial malformation with very few cases reported in literature. Partial rhombencephalosynapsis is a variation of this anomaly with fewer reported cases. We present the case of a patient with Chiari II malformation mimicking partial rhombencephalosynapsis.
