Spinal accessory mononeuropathy following posterior fossa decompression surgery

Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2002
Isolated injury of the spinal accessory nerve is a well-recognized complication of surgeries involving the posterior triangle of the neck. The procedures most commonly implicated are lymph node biopsy and carotid endarterectomy. We present a patient with isolated injury to the spinal accessory nerve, localized proximal to the innervation of the ...

Posterior fossa decompression in Chiari I improves denervation of the paraspinal muscles

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2017
To investigate whether posterior fossa decompression (PFD) could improve denervation of the paraspinal muscles in patients with Chiari I malformation (CMI).Paraspinal muscle denervation is one of the essential elements in the pathophysiology of CMI/syringomyelia-related scoliosis.

Chiari Malformation: Posterior Fossa Decompression With or Without Duraplasty?

2019
Introduction: Posterior fossa decompression (PFD) is the treatment of choice for symptomatic Chiari I malformation (CIM) patients; however, controversy exists regarding specific surgical techniques needed to accomplish this goal. While a variety of methods have been described, an ongoing central debate exists regarding the need for duraplasty (PFDD) in

Resolution of Hemifacial Spasm after Posterior Fossa Exploration without Vascular Decompression

Neurosurgery, 1986
A 57-year-old woman who had hemifacial spasm on the left side for 5 years underwent exploration of the cerebellopontine angle region for the purpose of microvascular decompression. At operation, however, no artery, vein, or other abnormality was noted at the facial nerve root exit zone.

[Posterior Fossa Anatomy for Microvascular Decompression Surgery].

No shinkei geka. Neurological surgery
In most microvascular decompression surgeries, surgical maneuvers are performed within normal anatomical structures without any neoplasms. Thus, detailed anatomical knowledge is essential to perform safe and efficient procedures. "Rule of 3" by Rhoton AL Jr.

Effects of Posterior Fossa Decompression with and without Duraplasty on Chiari Malformation-associated Hydromyelia

Neurosurgery, 2000
The optimal surgical treatment of Chiari malformation is unclear, especially in patients with hydromyelia. Various surgical approaches have included suboccipital craniectomy, syringostomy, obex plugging, syringosubarachnoid shunting, and fourth ventriculosubarachnoid shunting.

Posterior Fossa Volume and Response to Suboccipital Decompression in Patients with Chiari I Malformation

Neurosurgery, 1995
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 ...

Posterior fossa partial trigeminal rhizotomy: an alternative to microvascular decompression.

The Nebraska medical journal, 1989
Doctor Walter Dandy was a pioneer in the surgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. The Frazier-Spiller operation had been the standard operation for trigeminal neuralgia. Doctor Dandy pioneered the approach through the posterior fossa. He sectioned the lower-most 30 percent of the trigeminal nerve and found that trigeminal neuralgia was relieved ...

Posterior fossa decompression for Chiari I deformity, including resection of the cerebellar tonsils

Child's Nervous System, 1995
This is an analysis of 19 consecutive cases of symptomatic patients with Chiari I deformities, undertaken to evaluate the long-term effect of posterior fossa decompression and duraplasty, assessed by postoperative imaging. Sixteen of the patients had syringomyelia and three had foramen magnum syndromes without a syrinx.

Neurologic deficits restored after elective posterior fossa decompression.

The West Virginia medical journal, 1994
Arnold Chiari malformation is a condition in which the contents of the posterior fossa are herniated below the level of the foramen magnum, and it occurs in three basic forms. Patients with this condition frequently have obstructive hydrocephalus which requires a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt.
