Diagnosis is commonly made using MRI, with surgical intervention sometimes needed to relieve pressure on the brain and spinal cord. There are six types of CMs; Type I (CM1) is the most prevalent and is often identified in adulthood. CM1 involves herniation of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum, potentially causing symptoms such as headaches exacerbated by coughing, neck pain, dizziness, and sensory disturbances. Severe cases may include dysphagia, motor control issues, and sleep apnea. In dental treatment, CM patients should avoid prolonged neck hyperextension, which can increase discomfort, and metal appliances may need removal before MRI imaging.
