Introduction Chronic herniation syndromes other than tonsillar herniation are not well-recognized. Transtentorial uncal herniation in its chronic form has been reported in only few case reports (Horowitz et al., J Neuroimaging 12:78–79, 2002; Naidich et al., Radiology 158:431–434, 1986; Ng and Valiante, J Clin Neurosci 16:944, 2009; Ng and Valiante, J Clin Neurosci 16:984, 2009). We hereby illustrate a case with this rare finding, including MR imaging, and analyze this phenomenon.
