Management and outcomes of foramen magnum stenosis in children with achondroplasia at a single center over 15 years
This study confirmed previous reports that severe FMS is common in children with achondroplasia, that neurological symptoms may be absent even in severe FMS, and that FMD improves FMS and may improve central apnea. The finding that neurological examination had a low sensitivity for severe FMS supports the recommendation that all children with achondroplasia should undergo early MRI.
