  • Title: Supracerebellar arachnoid cyst - A rare cause of acquired Chiari I malformation.
    Author: Bahuleyan B, Rao A, Chacko AG, Daniel RT.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2007 Sep; 14(9):895-8. PubMed ID: 17588761.
    Abstract:
    Chiari I malformation (CM) associated with a cervico-thoracic syrinx due to supracerebellar arachnoid cyst has not been reported in the literature. We report such a case, managed by fenestration of the arachnoid cyst and foramen magnum decompression (FMD), aiming to reduce the inferiorly directed pressure on the cerebellum and eliminate the craniospinal pressure dissociation respectively. Imaging done post-operatively showed upward displacement of the cerebellar tonsils with a decompressed craniovertebral junction and disappearance of the syrinx.
