title: A case of neck pain: The presentation of Chairi 1 malformations in children.
abstract: Chiari 1 malformations (CIM) in children can develop into a debilitating disease, however, they usually present with apparently benign symptoms, such as moderate headache and neck pain. Early identification and treatment of this condition can lead to an overall decrease in morbidity and mortality associated with this disease. We are reporting on a child that initially presented with neck pain and no neurological findings.
