The severity of sleep disorders in patients with Chiari malformations can vary. The investigators propose to establish a correlation between the severity of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and the quantitative neuroradiological data of the airways, cranial base foramina, and posterior cranial fossae
Primary objective of the study is the evaluation of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in two distinct pediatric populations of patients with Chiari Malformation Type 1 (CM-I) and Chiari Malformation Type 2 (CM-II).
Secondary objectives:
Stratify the presence of SDB into central and obstructive origins in the two study populations.
Assess the volume of posterior cranial fossae, airway volume, and area of cranial base foramina in both groups.
Determine the relationships between SDB and morphological-quantitative anomalies associated with CM.
