Circumferential decompression of the foramen magnum for the treatment of syringomyelia associated with basilar invagination

Neurosurgical Review, 2004
Posterior fossa decompression utilizing suboccipital craniectomy and duraplasty remains the standard surgical treatment for Chiari-associated syringomyelia. In the presence of basilar invagination, anterior decompression, typically transoral odontoidectomy, or posterior decompression may be performed. We report two cases in which anterior and posterior

Management of infratentorial subdural hygroma complicating foramen magnum decompression: a report of three cases

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2011
Decompression of the foramen magnum for symptomatic Chiari malformation attends a small but significant risk of infratentorial subdural extra-arachnoid hygroma when an arachnoid-sparing procedure is attempted. We present three cases whereby an arachnoid-sparing procedure was carried out and resulted in infratentorial subdural hygroma and hydrocephalus.

Delayed pseudomyelomeningocele: a rare complication after foramen magnum decompression for Chiari malformation

Surgical Neurology, 2009
A variety of complications after FMD with or without duraplasty for Chiari malformation have been described. Although cerebellar ptosis through the dural opening and pseudomeningocele are well-known rare complications of this procedure, spinal cord herniation manifesting as pseudomyelomeningocele formation has not previously been cited in the ...
