Rare diseases, due to their epidemiological characteristics, and sometimes to the non-specific symptoms, are difficult to diagnose routinely at Primary Care Level. A case is presented of Arnold Chiari malformation in a young male patient with early insidious presentation (neck pain and sub-occipital headaches) consulting due to the emergence of new symptoms (paresthesias, muscular weakness, cervicobrachial and radiating lumbar pain, and headaches after mild exertion).
