Clip-grafts in microvascular decompression of the posterior fossa

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1986
✓ A method is described for the protection of the trigeminal root from recurrent vascular irritation or compression after posterior fossa microvascular decompression. A vascular clip-graft, using a Sundt clip of suitable size, is applied to the sensory root of the trigeminal nerve.

Spontaneous Decompression of a Posterior Fossa Arachnoid Cyst: A Case Report

Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2001
The authors present a case of spontaneous regression of a posterior fossa, supracerebellar arachnoid cyst causing hydrocephalus in a 7-month-old male child. The patient presented with macrocrania, bulging fontanelle and upgaze paresis of the eyes. There was complete improvement of these symptoms on the morning of the day of surgery without any obvious ...

Syringomyelia: long-term results after posterior fossa decompression

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1981
✓ A retrospective study of the surgical results in 31 adult patients with syringomyelia associated with Arnold-Chiari malformation was carried out. The standard surgical procedure consisted of a posterior fossa craniectomy. The vallecula was opened in 28 patients, with plugging of the central canal in 19.

Craniocervical Junction and Posterior Fossa Dimensions can Affect Need for Decompressive Craniectomy in Posterior Cranial Fossa Hemorrhage

World Neurosurgery, 2019
Posterior fossa hemorrhage (PFH) of the cerebellum is managed by decompressive craniectomy when there is clinical deterioration. There is no current consensus on an objective imaging method to determine which patients need surgery before clinical deterioration.

Posterior Fossa Decompression in Shunt‐Treated Hydrocephalic Children

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1968
SUMMARYThe authors report a series of 14 cases who underwent posterior fossa decompression for complications arising after hydrocephalus was treated by a shunt procedure. The findings and results are discussed.RÉSUMÉLes auteurs rapportent une série de 14 cas qui ont subi une décompression de la fosse postérieure è la suite de complications surgies ...

Life-threatening posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in the cerebellum treated by posterior fossa decompression

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2017
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinico-neuroradiological syndrome associated with various clinical conditions, such as headache, encephalopathy, and seizures. It is reversible if a prompt diagnosis is made and treatment undertaken. We report a 52-year-old male with hypertensive crisis.

Endoscopic odontoidectomy for brainstem compression in association with posterior fossa decompression and occipitocervical fusion

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2023
OBJECTIVE Endonasal endoscopic odontoidectomy (EEO) is an alternative to transoral surgery for symptomatic ventral compression of the anterior cervicomedullary junction (CMJ), allowing for earlier extubation and feeding. Because the procedure destabilizes the C1–2 ligamentous complex, posterior cervical fusion is often performed concomitantly.

Posterior fossa decompression and reconstruction in adolescents and adults with the Chiari I malformation

Neurological Research, 2011
The purpose of this paper is to review the current and historical surgical approaches to treating Chiari I malformation in adolescents and adults.A PubMed literature review and the author's own surgical experiences serve as a basis for discussing the variability in the surgical treatment of the Chiari I malformation.The most common treatment of the ...

Surgical results of posterior fossa decompression for patients with Chiari I malformation

Child's Nervous System, 2004
An increasing number of children with Chiari I malformations are coming to the attention of neurosurgeons today, although a consensus on the surgical approach to these lesions has yet to be found.We present a retrospective analysis of posterior fossa decompression (PFD) performed at our institution on 96 patients from 1989 to 2001. Statistical analyses

Expansion of Chiari I-associated syringomyelia after posterior-fossa decompression

Child's Nervous System, 2000
Chiari I malformation (CMI) is an abnormality that involves caudal herniation of the cerebellar tonsils into the foramen magnum. CMI has been shown to be closely associated with the development of syringomyelia (SM).Several theories have emerged to explain the apparent correlation between the existence of CMI with subsequent development of SM. However,
