  • Title: Spine Deformity Associated with Chiari I Malformation and Syringomyelia.
    Author: Das S, Stone L, Godzik J, Kelly M.
    Journal: Neurosurg Clin N Am; 2023 Jan; 34(1):151-157. PubMed ID: 36424055.
    Abstract:
    The management of scoliosis in patients with Chiari I malformation and syringomyelia is a complex decision-making process, which is changing due to evolving evidence. Headache and scoliosis are common presenting symptoms of an underlying Chiari. History, physical examination, and screening with MRI are cornerstones of diagnosis. Posterior fossa decompression provides curve stabilization or regression in about half of patients. In those who require spinal fusion, careful attention must be paid to intraoperative neurological monitoring data to minimize risk of neurologic injury.
