Would Chiari Cause Frequent Blinking Of Eyes?

My grandson who is 8 was MRI showed downward cerebral tonsils. He has been referred to a Neurologist for further study. I know they will be looking at the Foramen Magnum to see how far the tonsil extend or if there is some obstruction. He blinks his eyes alot and I was wondering if this is a sympton as well of possible chiari.
