  • Title: Respiratory failure caused by Chiari I malformation with associated syringomyelia.
    Author: Gentry JB, Gonzalez JM, Blacklock JB.
    Journal: Clin Neurol Neurosurg; 2001 Apr; 103(1):43-5. PubMed ID: 11311477.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of a 38-year-old male with a Chiari I malformation and syringomyelia that presented with acute respiratory distress. Pulmonary function testing was consistent with respiratory muscle weakness. A suboccipital craniectomy and C1, 2, 3 laminectomies were performed on an emergent basis. Postoperatively the patient had significant improvement in his respiratory status associated with a reduction in the size of the syringomyelia on follow-up imaging.
