Object Craniocervical decompression for Chiari malformation Type I (CM-I) and
syringomyelia has been reported to fail in 10%–40% of patients. The present prospective …

Object There is little information about the long-term effectiveness and complications
following decompressive surgery for syringomyelia related to Chiari malformation Type I …

Object. Syringomyelia causes progressive myelopathy. Most patients with syringomyelia
have a Chiari I malformation of the cerebellar tonsils. Determination of the …

The aim of this study was to analyze the long-term clinical and radiological outcomes of
craniocervical decompression for patients affected by Chiari I-related syringomyelia. We …

Objective: To demonstrate the beneficial role of decompressive surgery for the altered
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow dynamics in syringomyelia not associated with Chiari I …

Object The pathogenesis of syringomyelia in patients with an associated spinal lesion is
incompletely understood. The authors hypothesized that in primary spinal syringomyelia, a …

Study Design: This study was designed to investigate prospectively a series of patients with
syringomyelia-chiari I complex operated on by a minimally invasive procedure. Objective …

Background. A CSF flow study in patients with Chiari malformation (ChM) who undergo
craniocervical junction decompression (CCJD). Methods. Using spatial modulation of …

Background Approximately 30% of patients treated with foramen magnum decompression
(FMD) for Chiari I–associated syringomyelia will show persistence, recurrence, or …

Background Chiari malformation (CM) is often comorbid with syringomyelia. The treatment of
CM via posterior fossa decompression (PFD) may not improve syringomyelia in up to 40% of …
