Chiari type I malformation is a caudal displacement of the cerebellum with tonsillar herniation through the foramen magnum, frequently associated with syringomyelia, a syndrome characterized by cyst-like cavities in the spinal cord; each of the conditions leads to characteristic neurologic abnormalities. Pregnant patients with these types of malformation are considered to have an increased risk of brainstem compression and/or progression of the disease during labor. We present the case of a patient in labor with a diagnosis of syringomyelia associated with Chiari type I malformation and describe the anesthetic management. The patient revealed during labor that she had syringomyelia associated with Chiari type I malformation, after having made no mention of it in previous history taking. Finally, we review the pathology observed in these patients.
