Abstract
We report an 11-year-old girl with Chiari type I malformation and syri ngomyelia, who experienced isolated sleep apnea without other neurolog ic problems. Monitoring with oximetry and movement of thoracic and abd ominal walls indicated mixed-type sleep apnea, Chiari type I malformat ion should be differentiated from other disorders causing sleep apnea.
