Foramen Magnum Decompression for Cervicomedullary Encroachment in Craniometaphyseal Dysplasia: Case Report

Abstract

Foramen magnum decompression can be used to treat life-threatening cervicomedullary compression in patients with CMD. However, caution should be used because surgical intervention may be associated with a higher incidence of complications because of lengthy procedures and the spectrum of craniofacial impairments in patients with CMD.
