Painful manifestations of disease are usually excruciating experienced patients, contribute to disability and not effectively treatable. The analysis of non-painful sensory and pain phenomena in patients with Chiari malformation type 1 and type 0 was performed. Various pain and non-painful sensory phenomena were detected in 157 (97%) of the patients: headache (in 86%), neuropathic phenomena in the trunk and limbs (84%), loss of sensitivity (64%). Intergroup analysis was performed. The main descriptors of pain was identified. Development of sensory phenomena in the majority of cases are considered the first symptom of decompensation of congenital abnormalities. The study of sensory phenomena in Chiari malformation patients may facilitate the identification of the causes and conditions of decompensation, as well as contribute to the selection of treatment tactics.

Key words: Chiari malformation type 1 and type 0, headache, neuropathic pain.
