Abstrakt: Objective: We designed this study to introduce the surgical strategy cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) decompression in treatment of Chiari malformation type I and compared CSF decompression with other surgical strategies to provide a solid basis for patient counseling.
Methods: The study enrolled 528 consecutive patients with CMI who underwent surgical interventions from 2012 to 2022. The surgical strategy for these patients was bony and dural decompression, anatomical reduction of herniated tonsils, or CSF decompression. Short-term results were determined after 3 months; long-term outcomes were evaluated at last follow-up (at least 18 months).
Results: CSF decompression was independently associated with better long- or short-term primary outcomes than anatomical reduction of herniated tonsils or bony and dural decompression (P < 0.001). Compared with short-term, the long-term outcomes were better in patients who underwent CSF decompression (P = 0.035), but were worse in patients with bony and dural decompression (P = 0.03). Specific surgical techniques cannot affect the long- and short-term outcomes of patients with Chiari malformation type I. CSF decompression provided better long-term syringomyelia improvement than short-term (181/218, 83% vs. 169/218, 77.5%; P < 0.001).
Conclusions: CSF decompression, but not a specific surgical technique or operative method, was associated with favorable neurological outcomes in ADULT patients with Chiari malformation type I. The surgical technique and operative method should be selected according to the characteristics of each patient and the intraoperative condition to normalize CSF circulation at the craniovertebral junction area. The intraoperative target, smooth CSF flow out from the fourth ventricle and in to the bilateral Luschka foramina, could be observed.
