Abstract
Two cases of type I ACM are described, one of which presented with diz ziness in late childhood (case 1), the other with mild intention tremo r in adulthood (case 2). Cerebellar ectopia should be considered in mo nosymptomatic patients even in the absence of other symptoms and signs of CN.S. dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging of the craniocervica l junction should be performed because it may be diagnostic for type I ACM.
