Abstract This paper aims to introduce a patient with Chiari type 1 malformation presented with upper extremity pain and diabetes insipidus. After laboratory examinations, we confirmed our case's central diabetes insipidus diagnosis. The patient has undergone posterior fossa decompression, tonsilopexy, and duraplasty.
