sekundärer Tiefstand der Kleinhirntonsillen

Acquired tonsillar ectopia is usually thought of as a subgroup of cerebellar tonsillar ectopia in which downward displacement of the cerebellar tonsils is secondary to another well defined and distinct pathological process. This is to distinguish it from Chiari I malformations and low-lying tonsils.

The terminology of caudally displaced tonsils is discussed in the article on cerebellar tonsillar ectopia.
