- Abstract
The article describes the case of two siblings with neuropathic scoliosis due to Chiari malformation type I (CMI) with syringomyelia. CMI has been regarded as a sporadic condition without a heritable etiology, however, there have been several case reports determining familial aggregation and clustering of CMI, indicating a genetic basis.
