Abstract

We describe the neuroimaging findings of an 11-year-old boy who presented with mild occipital headache and precocious puberty. This child was found to have a combination of various midline anomalies including a Chiari type 1 malformation, corpus callosum agenesis and patent craniopharyngeal canal with adjacent intracranial dermoid cyst.

Keywords: Chiari type 1 malformation; brain; children; corpus callosum agenesis; craniopharyngeal canal; magnetic resonance imaging.
