OBJECT The authors completed a prospective, institutional review board–approved study
using intraoperative MRI (iMRI) in patients undergoing posterior fossa decompression (PFD) …

BACKGROUND: Many patients with symptomatic Chiari I malformation experience symptom
recurrence after surgical decompression. Identification of predictors of outcome is needed to …

Objective Many patients with symptomatic Chiari I malformation experience symptom
recurrence after surgical decompression. Improved radiographic predictors of outcome are …

OBJECT Extradural decompression is a minimally invasive technique for treating Chiari
malformation Type I (CM-I) that avoids the complications of dural opening. While there is no …

Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) velocity at the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) is
known to be altered in patients with Chiari I malformation (CMI), and normalization of CSF …

Object. The Chiari I malformation presents significant challenges to clinicians because its
pathophysiology is not well understood. In conducting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow studies …

Objective Chiari malformation type I (CMI) is a common neurologic condition and surgery is
the standard treatment. We aim to establish the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow change as a …

PURPOSE: To determine the features of the cardiac cycle-related cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
flow pulsations in with Chiari I malformation before and after decompressive surgery …

OBJECTIVE: To quantify the effect of decompression surgery on craniocervical junction
hydrodynamics and on global intracranial compliance (ICC) in patients with Chiari I …

Chiari I malformation has been shown to present different cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow
patterns at the cranial-vertebral junction (CVJ). Posterior fossa decompression is the first …
