lowermost portions‚ or the cerebral spinal tonsils‚ are displaced into the upper spinal canal. When the cerebellum is pushed into the upper spinal canal‚ it can interfere with the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that protects your brain and spinal cord. This impaired circulation of CSF can lead to the blockage of signal transmitted from your brain to your body‚ or to a buildup of spinal fluid in the brain or spinal cord. This pressure upon the spinal cord or lower
