This article reports the diagnosis and treatment process of a pregnant patient with Chiari malformation type II.

A multidisciplinary approach was adopted, and cesarean section under general anesthesia was chosen to terminate the pregnancy, resulting in favorable maternal and neonatal outcomes. Combined with a literature review, the article emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary management and individualized anesthesia strategies for pregnant patients with Chiari malformation type II.
