INTRODUCTION: The paper focuses on the use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in the evaluation of one case of Chiari III malformation. CASE REPORT: In the case discussed, DTI was used to delineate the position of large descending tracts within the malformation and the reconstructed images were used to plan the surgical procedure. DISCUSSION: The clinical and imaging findings, the technical aspects of the DTI fiber tract reconstruction and the outcome are summarized.
