From all the research I can tell, genetics are the cause of Chiari.

They are still studying the causes of Chiari but they know most Chiarians were born with it although sometimes things during labor cause it such as using tongs on the baby's head to pull it out. Genetics is definitely involved. You can also acquire Chiari or your symptoms can become worse by a head or spine trauma or intracranial hypertension.

It depends on the type you have. Most are genetic, but there are some that are acquired after head trauma. A lot of EDS patients have chiari.

Translated from spanish Improve translation
The Syndrome of Arnold Chiari is a malformation rare, congenital (present from birth) of the central nervous system (system formed by the brain and the spinal cord) located in the posterior fossa or base of the brain, which belongs to the group of malformations of the hinge (the joint between the upper part of the cervical spine and the skull).

We still don't know, but I put first Genetics and Environment.

The malformation is created in the womb, around the 8th week of gestation.
