Surgical treatment of craniocervical decompression without Chiari malformation in syringomyelia.
We aimed to describe a patient without Chiari malformation who was treated via craniocervical decompression and by creating cisterna manga with an autologous fascia graft, and who displayed a clinical and radiological improvement in the post-operative period. Syringomyelia is a chronic and progressive disease with cavitation and gliosis in the spinal cord. It is more common in adulthood and oft...
متن کاملChiari I malformation with underlying pseudotumor cerebri: Poor symptom relief following posterior decompression surgery
INTRODUCTION Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) patients exhibit clear clinical signs and symptoms of higher intracranial pressure (ICP) without ventricular enlargement or mass lesions. The clinical picture of patients with PTC can sometimes be similar to that of Chiari Malformation type I (CMI). There is some evidence that Chiari I malformation and PTC may coexist, which raises the question of whethe...

Chiari malformation describes a group of structural defects of the cerebellum, characterized by brain tissue protruding into the spinal canal.

Although studies of etiology are few, an increasing number of specific genetic syndromes are found to be associated with Chiari mal...
متن کاملReasons for revision surgery after orbital decompression for Graves’ orbitopathy
OBJECTIVES An analysis of complications and causes of failure in orbital decompression necessitating a second operation. METHODS Between December 1992 and April 2007, 375 patients (719 orbits) were operated on using various techniques.

متن کاملIncreased cerebrospinal fluid flow through the foramen of Magendie after decompression for Chiari I malformation.
A 15 year old patient with a 6 month history of cough headache was diagnosed as having a Chiari I malformation. The midsagittal T1 weighted MRI shows the tonsillar ectopia (figure A). A flow sensitive MRI, cardiac triggered gradient echo T2* weighted sequence obtained at 200 ms from the R wave, showed absence of CSF flow through the foramen of Magendie (figure B). After craniovertebral decompre...
