متن کاملDuraplasty is required for Chiari decompression!
We read the article by Hayhurst et al. on ‘Hindbrain decompression for Chiari-syringomyelia complex: an outcome analysis comparing surgical techniques’ with interest. We found the authors conclusions on bone only decompression interesting and worth discussion. The literature on Chiari decompression strongly supports duraplasty in symptomatic patients with Chiari malformation. We previously repo...
متن کاملComparison of posterior fossa decompression with and without duraplasty for the surgical treatment of Chiari malformation Type I in pediatric patients: a meta-analysis.
OBJECT Surgery for Chiari malformation Type I (CM-I) is one of the most common neurosurgical procedures performed in children, although there is clearly no consensus among practitioners about which surgical method is preferred. The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the outcome of posterior fossa decompression with duraplasty (PFDD) and posterior fossa decompression without duraplas...
متن کاملPosterior fossa decompression with tonsillectomy in 104 cases of basilar impression, Chiari malformation and/or syringomyelia.
The prime objective in the surgical treatment of basilar impression (BI), Chiari malformation (CM) and/or syringomyelia (SM) is based on the restoration of the normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics at the craniovertebral junction through the creation of a large artificial cisterna magna. A small suboccipital craniectomy has been emphasized to avoid caudal migration of the hindbrain structur...
متن کاملPosterior fossa volume and response to suboccipital decompression in patients with Chiari I malformation.
Smaller posterior fossa (PF) volume has been suggested to be one of the mechanisms responsible for tonsillar herniation through the foramen magnum in patients with Chiari I malformation (CM I). Although previous radiological analyses of the cranial anatomy have suggested a smaller PF volume in patients with CM I, the relationship of the PF volume to decompressive surgery has not been reported. ...
