The authors describe a case of pregnancy in a patient previously affected by Arnold-Chiari malformation associated with syringomyelia; from clinical experience and a review of the literature, the possibility is deduced of carrying out the pregnancy physiologically, although by observing close precaution while performing delivery which, by our experience, should be accomplished by partus caesarius in general anaesthesia, taking great care to the evaluation of neurologic parameters.
