Abstract:

Syringomyelia occurs in about 70% of cases with Chiari malformation and 10% of cases with basilar invagination. There are many surgical treatments for Chiari malformation with syringomyelia, such as posterior fossa decompression and cavitary shunt. Different methods of posterior fossa decompression have been performed in Chiari malformation with syringomyelia, with varying failed rates reported. At present, there are many reoperation procedures for failed cases, such as second foramen magnum decompression, syringo-subarachnoid shunt, syringo-abdominal shunt, syringo-thoracic shunt, fourth ventricle-cervical subarachnoid shunt, and surgical treatments for special complications. Each procedure should be selected based on the patient's condition to relieve the symptoms.

Key words: Chiari malformation, Syringomyelia, Foramen magnum decompression, Syringo-subarachnoid shunt, Reoperation
