Long-term results after posterior fossa decompression in syringomyelia with adult Chiari Type I malformation

Abstract

Certain clinical predictors of poor clinical and radiological prognosis were identified-namely, age at time of surgery and symptom duration. The results of the study provide additional long-term data that support the effectiveness and safety of relieving CSF block at the craniocervical junction in CM-I-related syringomyelia.
