Caudal herniation of the hindbrain, indistinguishable from the Chiari I deformity, may occur after the establishment of spinal subarachnoid shunts and become symptomatic years after the procedure. Examples are presented and others are cited from the literature. It is proposed that the force responsible for the displacement is the difference in pressure between the cranial and spinal compartments. On the basis of these observations and other considerations as well, a similar process, disproportionate absorption of cerebrospinal fluid from the spinal region, might account for the spontaneous form of the Chiari I deformity.
