Difference between Birth defect and Chiari malformation

Birth defect vs. Chiari malformation

A birth defect, also known as a congenital disorder, is a condition present at birth regardless of its cause. Chiari malformations (CMs) are structural defects in the cerebellum.

Similarities between Birth defect and Chiari malformation

Birth defect and Chiari malformation have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Craniosynostosis, Dandy–Walker syndrome, Encephalocele, Hydrocephalus, Hypoplasia, Spina bifida.

Craniosynostosis

Craniosynostosis (from cranio, cranium; + syn, together; + ostosis relating to bone) is a condition in which one or more of the fibrous sutures in an infant (very young) skull prematurely fuses by turning into bone (ossification), thereby changing the growth pattern of the skull.

Encephalocele

Encephalocele, sometimes known as cranium bifidum, is a neural tube defect characterized by sac-like protrusions of the brain and the membranes that cover it through openings in the skull.
